Title: God and conflict
Description: God and Conflict: A Search for Peace in a Time of Crisis ... is a raw, powerful and transparent journey into the heart of peacebuilding on inner to international levels. Hellmich is thrown into an existential crisis by Sierra Leone's bloody civil war as the villages he lived in as a Peace Corps Volunteer are sacked by child soldiers. He seeeks solace in a meditation practice that opens him to mystical experiences of profound love; all the while working on practical peacebuilding initiatives in Sierra Leone and other parts of Africa. Hellmich bridges the chaotic violence and the divine love in an authentic and skillful way that sheds light on the scientific and spiritual dimensions of conflict and peacebuilding. God and Conflict is a timely and inspiring story of moving from personal and global crisis to sacred activism.
