It is said that the choices we make determine the lives we lead. In
this book you will meet twenty inspiring individuals who have made
peace their choice in lifefrom a Vietnamese monk to a Brazilian
musician, from a Swedish childrens author to an Iranian-American
architect. Exploring a wide range of approaches to peacemaking,
Great Peacemakers is organized into five paths to peace: choosing
nonviolence, living peace, honoring diversity, valuing all life,
and caring for the planet. Each path showcases the true life
stories of four amazing peacemakers who have successfully
cultivated peace in a variety of ways. As a whole, the book strives
for an overall balance of race, nationality, religion, gender, age,
and level of fame. Whether you are a parent seeking positive roles
models for your children, an educator looking for thought-provoking
material for your students, or someone simply wanting an uplifting
read, then Great Peacemakers is sure to meet your needs and inspire
the peacemaker in you. Great Peacemakers won the 2007 International
PeaceWriting Award from the Peace and Justice Studies Association
and the OMNI Center for Peace, Justice, and Ecology. The book is
also endorsed by three heads of state and three Nobel Peace Prize
recipients, including Dr. Oscar Arias, president of Costa Rica and
Nobel Laureate, who said: "Powerful, well-researched and, above
all, timely, Great Peacemakers should be required reading for the
youth of the world."
