Jesus wants YOU to join a great company of peacemakers-an army that sheds no blood. This book reviews what the Bible says about peacemaking and tells the stories of Christian peacemakers through the centuries. Jesus is God's most important clue to peace, so we spend a lot of time with him. But, we also explore how Jesus connects with God's purposes at creation, with war in the Old Testament, with our responsibility to government, and with the realities of life in a nuclear age. We discuss practical issues young peacemakers are facing-career choices, military service, the nuclear arms race, and war taxes. Joel Kauffman's new cartoon strip, Pontius' Puddle, featuring a pair of precocious frogs, provides pungent perspectives on peacemaking throughout the book.

When parents do not believe in war, how do they teach their children this ethic when all around them war and violence are glorified in videos, movies, TV, toys, and books? Susan Mark Landis helps parents communicate with their elementary school-aged children Jesus' way of peace. Each session has dialogue about God and the Bible, stories about peacemakers, and ideas for parents.
