THE GIFT OF PEACE
Watercolour illustrations by Ian de Souza and CD of Michael Done's song Child of Peace.
The Gift of Peace is just what the world needs at this time of crisis, fear and uncertainty. These quotes are awesome nuggets of wisdom that help remind us that Peace is not only possible, but it is a way. The writings remind us, as in Attitudinal Healing, that we can always, at any moment in our lives, choose peace over conflict, love over fear and hate, and compassion rather than indifference
Gerald G. Jampolsky, M.D. Founder of the Centre for Attitudinal Healing, USA
The Gift of Peace is compiled and edited by colourful and versatile WA musician Michael Done, an award-winning composer and lyricist. It comes with a CD of Michael's song Child of Peace, a fitting accompaniment to the inspiring words of peace he has chosen for the book. The Gift of Peace is illustrated with watercolours by Ian de Souza.
