The Call of the Child: Cultivating Peace in a Climate of Conflict - Paperback

by Bruce McKibben (Author), Gordon Hickson (Foreword by)

Jesus stepped into this world, seemingly weak and foolish, demonstrating the heart of a Father with a transformational perspective. His goal was to bring many sons and daughters to glory--to invite us out of our deceptive "reality" into a strong family likeness with his and our true Father. It is a calling to relationships based on the Father's love rather than on value through performance; a calling to love enemies, to bless the wicked, and to gain victory through loss. In the midst of the division and fragmentation so prevalent around us, the Call of the Child is to be peacemakers who transform our families, communities, and nations. The book you are holding first lays a foundation for seeing like a peacemaker and then gives practical insight into a dozen different realms of peacemaking.
