Waging Peace

by Pamela Haines

Overview

In a world of conflict, Pamela Haines calls for the development of skills to wage peace and an "army of nonviolent warriors." Here she offers readers a window into how to become nonviolent warriors through practices that show us how to hope, grieve, listen, welcome conflict, mend, speak truth, and cultivate courage. Engaging stories bring these practices to life and show that by working together we can transform ourselves, our community, and our world.
