Review The church as a whole may not have all the answers [about war and violent conflict] but it does at least understand the questions – and Peter understands them better than most. His answers are not lofty "stuck in the clouds" aspirations, but grounded in hard-lived experience. -- Major General (Retd) Tim Cross CBEFrom the first pages onward, Peter shows us that peacemaking is not a metaphor for soft and fluffy ideas but the hard work of being human in a broken world. For the sake of a peace-filled world, this book is not just highly recommended, but should be required reading. -- Dr Mark Gornik, Director, City Seminary of New YorkThrough his own spiritual questioning, Peter reflects the universal dilemmas we all face in making sense of our chosen ethical and moral guides, as well as the often difficult steps peacebuilders take in support of social justice and reconciliation. -- Dr Zahbia Yousuf, Peacebuilding Editor and Analyst, Conciliation Resources Review Quote The church as a whole may not have all the answers [about war and violent conflict] but it does at least understand the questions - and Peter understands them better than most. His answers are not lofty "stuck in the clouds" aspirations, but grounded in hard-lived experience.
