"Do you think one person can make a difference in the world? Many people believe the answer is no, but Jeremy Gilley proved the answer is yes." "Jeremy believed there should be a day dedicated to peace every year, a World Peace Day, and he made it happen. He traveled the globe, meeting with leaders such as Kofi Annan and His Holiness the Dalai Lama to get support for his idea. His enthusiasm and tireless efforts convinced the governments of the world to create a day of global cease-fire and nonviolence that falls on September 21 every year. More and more people participate each year, and Jeremy's story will make you think: What can I do for peace on September 21?"--BOOK JACKET.

Diana Oestreich, a combat medic in the Army National Guard, enlisted like both her parents before her. But when she was commanded to run over an Iraqi child to keep her convoy rolling and keep her battle buddies safe, she was confronted with a choice she never thought she'd have to make. Torn between God's call to love her enemy and her country's command to be willing to kill, Diana chose to wage peace in a place of war. For the remainder of her tour of duty, Diana sought to be a peacemaker--leading to an unlikely and beautiful friendship with an Iraqi family. A beautiful and gut-wrenching memoir, Waging Peace exposes the false divide between loving our country and living out our faith's call to love our enemies--whether we perceive our enemy as the neighbor with an opposing political viewpoint, the clerk wearing a head-covering, or the refugee from a war-torn country. By showing that us-versus-them is a false choice, this book will inspire each of us to choose love over fear.

ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW’ S 10 BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR One of the Best Books of the Year: The Washington Post, The Christian Science Monitor, NPR, Entertainment Weekly, The Economist, The Daily Beast, St. Louis Post-Dispatch In September 1978, three world leaders—Menachem Begin of Israel, Anwar Sadat of Egypt, and U.S. president Jimmy Carter—met at Camp David to broker a peace agreement between the two Middle East nations. During the thirteen-day conference, Begin and Sadat got into screaming matches and had to be physically separated; both attempted to walk away multiple times. Yet, by the end, a treaty had been forged—one that has quietly stood for more than three decades, proving that peace in the Middle East is possible. Wright combines politics, scripture, and the participants’ personal histories into a compelling narrative of the fragile peace process. Begin was an Orthodox Jew whose parents had perished in the Holocaust; Sadat was a pious Muslim inspired since boyhood by stories of martyrdom; Carter, who knew the Bible by heart, was driven by his faith to pursue a treaty, even as his advisers warned him of the political cost. Wright reveals an extraordinary moment of lifelong enemies working together—and the profound difficulties inherent in the process. Thirteen Days in September is a timely revisiting of this diplomatic triumph and an inside look at how peace is made.

Imagine if a single word could change your life. What if I told you the key to a peaceful life is one little four-letter word (and no, not the one that starts with F!). The word I'm referring to is LOVE. More than ever, our world needs love. So, what is love, and how can we get more in our lives? A Year of Love: Finding peace one day at a time details my journey when I selected "love" as my word of the year and focused on bringing more love to every aspect of my life - every day for a year. In this book, I explore how love enhanced my relationships with my family and friends, my health and wellbeing, as well as my connection with nature and the world around me. My Year of Love was challenging at times, but by the end of the year, I had experienced remarkable personal growth. Each chapter of this book shares actionable steps or "Love Lessons" that you can implement in your own life. In reading this book, I hope you are inspired to embark on your word of the year journey and have the opportunity to experience for yourself how one word can change your life, a day at a time.
