“When we met Cliff Kindy and family at their Joyfield Farm during a Christian Peacemaker Team Congress in 1998, they already embodied an exemplary personal and political discipleship of nonviolence. This now revered elder peacemaker chronicles how CPT experiments around the world are opening paths that can liberate us from our captivity to militarism. Both harrowing and inspiring, Kindy’s stories and analysis invite us into, and instruct us in, that crucial work.”
“Kindy is a Midwestern farmer who eschews swords and is familiar with plowshares. In that Isaian tradition, he offers gripping stories of courage, sacrifice, and faithful Christian witness in situations of intractable and deadly violence. Nonviolence is most effective, writes Kindy, when it intentionally retakes the initiative from the actors of violence. From Gaza to Iraq, Nigeria to Colombia, and back to the United States, Kindy reveals a hidden truth behind the Christian Peacemaker Team, a civilian ‘nonviolent special ops,’ who for more than thirty years have been infiltrating war zones to de-escalate violence, accompany peacemakers, and serve the victims of war—all for the sake of Jesus. These are the stories of our unsung peace heroes. Remember them. Honor them. Emulate them.”
