Here’s what others are saying!
President & Founder, United Religions Initiative, Right Reverend William E. Swing
“Having been part of numerous gatherings of religious leaders, theologians and grassroots practitioners trying to discover their common ground, something always seemed to be missing. Vicki Garlock’s Embracing Peace unearths the missing ingredient. Stories. Beautifully illustrated and fun, these stories lay the foundation for peace in a religiously diverse world by speaking to the soul and imagination of the child in all of us. Highly recommended.”
Executive Director Kids4Peace Boston, Christine Samuel
“In a world often defined in terms of differences, Vicki Garlock’s Embracing Peace reminds us of the unifying power of faith and our religious traditions. Interspersing questions and reflections throughout these rich and culturally diverse stories, Garlock emphasizes the universal applicability that is the theme both of a healthy spirituality and her wonderful book! An important and wonderful read for kids and adults alike.”
