In a world where violence seems to be the norm, this timely resource is a must for religious educators who want to teach \"peaceful living to children in our society.\" This practical how-to book covers topics such as: Respecting Dignity, Learning Compassion, Self Image, Exploring Forgiveness, Effective Communication, Anger Management and Conflict Resolution.
Written by authors who are mothers, educatior and MREs, Clair and Mary have used these materials in religious education classes and in Bible School Programs. As they say in their introduction: \"The time has come... to be pro-active in reversing the trend toward violence. If society has not purposely taught our children to be violent, certainly we have carelessly failed to teach them to be nonviolent.
\"Peacemakers: The New Generation could not be timelier. In a culture that breeds violence, in a time when children are accustomed to feeling insecure and threatened, this book teaches our youth that love, justice and peace are attainable realities.\" -Bishop Tom Gumbleton
