People are afraid.
Fear marks the way we live, the way we respond to one another. In contrast, Christians are called to live without fear, to live in love and hope, to be Good Samaritans to their brother or sister in need. This resource helps us look realistically at the violence of the world around us, at our own fears, and at God's call to live in shalom. Readers will find specific ways to live in hope and love, to confront violence and refuse to allow it to be the last word. There are biblical resources to strengthen faith, activities that allow us to take specific, doable steps toward overcoming violence, and ways to build a supportive community for the struggle.
