Seeking Peace is a tough, transcendent envisioning of peace. Arnold writes in the tradition of the Berrigans, of Simone Weil and Thomas Merton.

- <b>Jonathan Kozol,</b> author,

A valuable contribution to contemporary thought, and a guide for action as the struggle continues.

- <b>Jesse L. Jackson,</b> The Rainbow/PUSH Coalition,

Seeking Peace inspires each of us to seek peace within our own hearts…It gives hope that we can find wholeness, happiness, and harmony.

- <b>Mairead Maguire,</b> Nobel Peace Prize Laureate,

Where can we find peace of heart and mind--with ourselves, with others, and with God? Arnold says most people are looking in the wrong direction. In a culture that bombards us with feel-good-about-yourself spirituality, Seeking Peace is sure to satisfy a deep hunger. There is a peace greater than self-fulfilment, a peace greater than nations no longer at war. But it will demand a relentless pursuit kept up only by hope and courage, vision and commitment. Seeking Peace explores many facets of humankind's ageless search for peace. It plumbs a wealth of spiritual traditions and draws on the wisdom of some exceptional (and some very ordinary) people who have found peace in surprising places.
