Advance Praise for waging peace
"Love never fails."
Oestreich's "Waging Peace" invites us to believe those words as never before. The world is barricaded behind walls of shame and "otherizing" and only tender love can scale those walls. On the other side, we find our shared humanity, a reverence for complexity and a longing to be practitioners of this "dangerous hope" that only chooses love. This book helps you scale the walls."
Gregory J. Boyle, S.J., founder of Homeboy Industries, author of the New York Times Bestselling book, Tattoos on the Heart: The Power of Boundless Compassion
“This is a book the world needs right now.”
“Diana Oestreich has seen the horrors of war firsthand and has felt the collision between the Empire’s sword and the Savior’s cross. She is not just giving us a theology of peace; she is showing the world what it looks like to follow the way of the cross in a world ravaged by war. Diana Oestreich is a new hero of mine.”
—Shane Claiborne, author, activist, and founder of Red Letter Christians
“this book has changed my life forever.”
“Once in a while, we encounter a story so vivid, so personal, it drags us from complacency and propels us toward possibility. This is one of those rare books. Told through combat boots and teacups, mothers and neighbors, enemies and their absence, Waging Peace promises something more valuable than security and taking sides. Bold, tender, and courageous to the core, this book has changed my life forever.”
—Shannan Martin, author of The Ministry of Ordinary Places and Falling Free
