Summary

We live in a world of violence. We see it in movies and on television news. It happens in our schools and in distant countries. And it happens most of all, Johann Christoph Arnold argues, in our hearts. It is there in these inner battlegrounds where change can and must begin. But it all starts with the individual choice to seek peace within oneself.

In this important work by one of our most admired religious thinkers, Johann Christoph Arnold shows the many paths toward inner peace taken by people from all walks of life. Guiding us toward a new vision of ourselves, Seeking Peace is a gift of love, wisdom, and hope. This book shows us how to end the long-standing conflicts within us, release the anger that blinds us, and take the first brave steps that -- by the effort itself -- will make us more peaceful people and the world a better place to be.
