Synopsis

For most of his ministry Canon Andrew White has been involved in reconciliation. 'The kind of people I engage with are not usually very nice, he writes. 'On the whole, nice people do not cause wars.' In Baghdad he lives daily with violence, and has conducted too many funerals. He knows what peacemaking costs. Before he left for Baghdad in 2005 Andrew was Director of the International Centre for Reconciliation in Coventry. He bases his book on Coventry's Litany of Reconciliation, which asks God's forgiveness for the hatred, greed, envy, indifference, lust and pride which corrupt our world.

Media Reviews
Andrew White has the extraordinary capacity to sail the seas of conflict, coming alongside those involved in causing and delivering violence, and capturing them for the cause of peace. To do this he breaks most of the rules in any book of health and safety, personal protection, and bureaucratic process ... He inspires forgiveness and demonstrates love. -- The Most Revd and Rt Hon. Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury
A highly commended read for anyone wanting to deal with personal conflicts and understand some key world issues today. -- Richard Hill * The NEWSpaper *
This book has plenty to exercise the mind and conscience of a thoughtful Christian - but not specifically a Reader. -- Roderick Clark * The Reader *
