Title: THE GIFT OF PEACE. Thoughts for a Peaceful World
Description: London, Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University, 2002. 1st edition 94 pp. Pb. At times of great human tragedy, it is common for things that reflect the greatness of humanity to also emerge - be it in the form of bravery, courage, forgiveness, inspiration. The Gift of Peace emerged as a direct response to the US 9/11 bombings in 2001. Inspired by the understanding that the most effective antidote to acts of war is to create thoughts of peace that can ripple out into the world and create a good atmosphere. With the aim to re-inforce the message that in order to change the world, we ourselves must first change, the author includes a concluding chapter of exercises. Aimed to be simple habits we can incorporate in to even the most busy of timetables, it leaves the reader with the powerful realisation: If I really want to create a more peaceful world I have to start with myself. And if not now, then when? condition as new
