The Peacemaker: Student Edition
Ken Sande and Kevin Johnson
Baker Books, 2008, 176 pp., $12.99, www.BakerBooks.com
The teen edition of The Peacemaker is actually one stand-alone product in a host of Peace Making training materials put together by Sande for the church. Basically, it’s a training resource for biblical conflict resolution and seeking peace. I’m actually a big fan of the series overall, having seen it be put to great use in my own church in the last year, so I was excited to find out there was a teen edition on the way. Part of me thought it might be a bit much, but I certainly was curious, and it did not disappoint!
Because it is half the size of the adult version, it is very focused, which I thought was great. If the various peace-making illustrations throughout the book were not specifically from the life of students, whether school conflicts, situations at home or elsewhere, this is the edition I would recommend to all age groups because it is such a non-threatening size, yet the message is all there. This is absolutely a great resource for your young people!
