This was an assigned school text that was a great joy to read. It clearly states a wonderful approach to conflict transformation that is based on the author's real-life experiences.It shows how you can confidently step into a conflict situation and be a catalyst to bring about reconciliation among the parties. This is about relationships, about connecting as humans. The approaches detailed in this slim volume works, as I have found ways to put the methods to work right away.Lederach is an authority on the subject as a good writer, too! A joyous combination!

This is a wonderful book that makes you really think, and take an inward journey to feel what you really believe about others. Unless you learn to see the face of God in the eyes of your enemy you can never be reconciled! One of my favorite books.
