Dan Buttry is one of our best practical theologians. As both a pastor and an activist, he helps Christians in their local churches and grassroots communities put theol-ogy into action. In this helpful handbook, Buttry helps us to deepen and widen our vision of peacemaking."

"As the pastor of a church that understands peacemak-ing as central to the gospel, I am always searching for resources that can effectively combine this vision with the actual life and ministry of the congregation. Dan Buttry offers us the best of pastoral handbooks, a book that you want to keep on hand to refer to again and again. The book vibrates with stories of peacemak-ing in local churches, giving one a sense of hope and possibility in the multiple ways Christ's peace can be manifested in our world."
