Peace One Day

BY JEREMY GILLEY, KAREN BLESSEN
One day, a lightbulb went off in Jeremy Gilley's head: there should be one day each year when the world stops fighting and celebrates peace. And he did much more than just think about it. He traveled the globe, meeting with leaders such as Kofi Annan, Amre Moussa, Shimon Peres, and His Holiness the Dalai Lama. Jeremy's enthusiasm and tireless efforts convinced the governments of the world to change the UN International Day of Peace from a day that moved each year and didn't actually require anyone to stop fighting into a cease-fire day of nonviolence that would fall on September 21 every year.

Peace Week In Miss Fox's Class

BY EILEEN SPINELLI, ANNE KENNEDY
Miss Fox is tired of hearing her young students quarrel. So she announces Peace Week, no more squabbling for one whole week! The children chime in with their own rules: no fighting, don't say mean things, and help others. Throughout the week each of the little animals gets a chance to practice this new behavior. When Polecat teases Bunny for wearing a bright yellow sweater, instead of poking fun back at Polecat, Bunny admires his sweater. Soon, to their surprise, the animals are finding that it's easy to help others, take turns, and say nice things, even when someone is grumpy to them. Wouldn't it be nice, Squirrel says, if every week could be Peace Week?

Peaceable Kingdom Lost

The Paxton Boys And The Destruction Of William Penn's Holy Experiment

BY KEVIN KENNY
William Penn established Pennsylvania in 1682 as a "holy experiment" in which Europeans and Indians could live together in harmony. In this book, historian Kevin Kenny explains how this Peaceable Kingdom--benevolent, Quaker, pacifist--gradually disintegrated in the eighteenth century, with disastrous consequences for Native Americans. "Kenny concludes that the Boys' attitude toward the Indians and their attacks on the ruling powers presaged the military and political activities of the American Revolution and the new nation's mistreatment of the Indians." - Publishers Weekly

Peacework

Prayer, Resistance, Community

BY HENRI NOUWEN
Henri Nouwen wrote this book twenty years ago as his personal response in a time of heightening Cold War tensions. Its publication now, in a new era of fear and violence, is particularly timely. On the one hand Peacework represents a passionate call to all Christians to embrace Jesus' ethic of peacemaking as an "unconditional, unlimited, and uncompromising" demand. But Nouwen goes on to show that peacemaking is more than a matter of carrying placards or opposing war. "Nobody can be a Christian without being a peacemaker. . . What we are called to is a life of peacemaking in which all that we do, say, think or dream is part of our concern to bring peace to our world." -From the book

Peculiar Power

A Quaker Woman Preacher In Eighteenth-century America

BY CRISTINE LEVENDUSKI
Elizabeth Ashbridge (1713-1755) wrote "Remarkable Experiences". In it she recorded her religious search but also told of the highly unusual events that had shaped her life: eloping at 14, being kidnapped, preventing a shipboard mutiny, enduring a harsh term of indentured servitude, and suffering relentless religious persecution. Her experiences as an English immigrant, a servant, an itinerant, a Quaker, and a woman placed her far outside the colonial cultural mainstream, but drawing power from her marginalized position she became in her thirties a respected leader among Quakers, thereby breaking the "suffer and be still" silence imposed on 18C women.

The People Called Quakers

BY ELTON TRUEBLOOD
This volume is more philosophical than historical. It is an effort to depict a people who represent one element in radical Christianity and their ideas and insights. The book attempts to sum up the many avenues Quakerism has explored and to see it as an entire movement containing contrasting and complementary emphases. The author sees this book as especially valuable to those of other faiths interested in exploring Quakerism.
