John Paul Lederach shares insight gained from years of work in international mediation and deep spiritual reflection on the task of reconciliation. He draws on personal experiences in deep-rooted conflict and relates them to the biblical narrative of God seeking reconciliation throughout history. Conflict will come. We choose how we respond to it. True reconciliation must couple spiritual disciplines with personal, social, and international capacities to interact helpfully with conflict. The author accompanies people divided by hatred and violence on their journey to encounter themselves, each other, and god.

People in all walks of life and in various settings will find this book compelling and insightful. Lederach offers help for conflicted families, church communities, neighborhoods, and nations working toward healing and understanding.
