You can download your free copy of this book at at Amazon, Kobo, Nook, or Apple.

Last June I help launch a new book which I co-edited, Voices of Harmony and Dissent: How Peacebuilders are Transforming Their Worlds.  Each chapter, authored by a different CSOP instructor, explores three dimensions of peacebuilding:

• stories of inspiring peace work
• tools and strategies for peacebuilding in a variety of settings
• resources that have helped shape the author's views

Right now the e-book version is free.   

Authors include: Ovide Mercredi, Mubarak Awad, Stuart Clark, David Dyck, Martin Entz, Harry Huebner, Ouyporn Khuankaew, George Lakey, Ivo Markovic, Maxine Matilpi, Stan McKay, Piet Meiring, Sophia Murphy, Kay Pranis, and Karen Ridd. Accompany these authors as they tell stories about women and peacebuilding, nonviolent action for social change, restorative justice, indigenous approaches to change, spirituality and creative arts, circle process, food security, mediation, inter-cultural peace work, truth and reconciliation. 

You can download your free copy of this book at at Amazon, Kobo, Nook, or Apple.

Testimonials

Voices of Harmony and Dissent holds the heart of how social change happens--people who believe deeply, develop significant relationships, and have the courage to engage together. Each and every chapter provides lessons and inspiration and, most importantly, has a deep resonance that rises from these voices of hard-won experience and reflective practice, an authenticity that touches the reader and points us toward the kind of learning that really makes a difference in our world. - John Paul Lederach, author of The Moral Imagination

Simply wringing your hands over the state of the world is not going to change anything. It's real action that changes the world, and this book gives the reader advice from people who wake up every day and do the hard work of building peace. Bravo! - Jody Williams, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate


These stories and essays intimately and powerfully convey two fundamental truths. The first is that history changes only through the actions of people who decide it has to change... The second truth is that the human spirit is worth struggling for, day after day, year after year, no matter whether we are successful or not. In this work, which joins us at the heart, we will always find joy, even in the harshest of external circumstances. - Margaret J. Wheatley, author of Leadership and the New Science

If you wish to purchase a print version of the book, you can do that on any of the above sites or through the CSOP website. I hope you will enjoy reading this book and that it will equip and inspire you in your work as a peacebuilder.
