Portraits of Peace

Ethics, Culture & Social Issues

“The book skillfully succeeds in constructing a narrative of hope by revealing the lives and faces of those dedicated to breaking the cycle of conflict. John Noltner's work offers a profound awareness of what it means to be human.”

The Way of Letting Go

Counseling, Grief & Mental Health

“In The Way of Letting Go Wilma Derksen demonstrates how the healing process is to pass from the narrative of trauma as overwhelming grief into the narrative of trauma as an experience of deep and meaningful significance. Bringing together all her experience and learning following the agony of her daughter’s murder, here over thirty years later Derksen is able to give voice to a humanity born out of suffering. There are few who have given as much thought to the transformative power of forgiveness—she has defined, refined, probed, and reevaluated one of the most difficult, complex, but never more relevant forces in the world today.”
