Remarkable Stories Of Peacemakers

BY N. GERALD SHENK

Brief Description:
Shenk tells the stories of "ordinary people" in bad situations, who used courage, inspiration and love to attempt a transformation to a positive outcome. Some examples are the farmer/pastor Ned Wyse beaten nearly to death in a random attack by neighbors, Palestinian parents who gave their young, murdered son's organs to Jewish children, Brother Ivo who kept bringing former Catholic and Muslim neighbors together as war escalated in Bosnia, and the Amish, who subverted the violation of their children in Nickel Mines by refusing to multiply the horror, and instead offered forgiveness and generosity.
