Mending the Divides: Creative Love in a Conflicted World
by Jon Huckins and Jer Swigart

During the months of March and April, as a congregation we are grabbing a cuppa something warm and diving into this worthy and challenging book. Along the way, we'll have some time to discuss chapters before we host author Jer Swigart on Sunday April 27 at 3 pm for a discussion about the book. (More on that later!)
Book description:
What is peacemaking and how can YOU make a difference? Instead of disengaging from conflict and brokenness in the world, Jon Huckins and Jer Swigart invite us to move toward it. Not for the sake of resolving tensions and ending wars, but to understand that because peacemaking is the mission of God, it should also be the vocation of God's people. Peace is when severed relationships are repaired and restored.
Using biblical and current-day illustrations of everyday peacemakers, Mending the Divides offers a theologically compelling, richly personal, and intensely practical set of tools that equip us to join God in the restoration of broken relationships, unjust systems, and global conflicts.
