Twelve Habits for Peacemakers: A Christian Wisdom of Reconciliation

How can Christians become agents of reconciliation in a divided world and Church? Twelve Habits for Peacemakers brings together leading theologians and experienced peacebuilders to explore Christian Biblical Reasoning – a fresh way of reading Scripture that nurtures the habits essential for peace making.

Contributors explore twelve transformative habits – including Lament, Forgiveness, Hospitality, and Empathy – drawn from deep biblical reading and real-world reconciliation work.

Designed for ministers, church leaders, and peacemakers at every level, they offer clear, real-life applications alongside theological depth. Blending academic insight with hands-on wisdom, Twelve Habits for Peacemakers is a vital resource for anyone seeking to bridge divides and live out the gospel of peace.
