Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays presents the very latest research on the peace-building dimension of sacred and secular journeys at individual, societal, regional and global levels. Not since the 1980s has there been any concerted effort to explore the potential of such journeys in helping to bridge the divide that separates people of diverse ethnicities, religions and cultures. This volume gathers together empirical studies, regional analyses, and personal reflections from four continents and twelve countries, including Sri Lanka, Syria, Ethiopia, and Indonesia, which highlight the potential of religious tourism and pilgrimage for promoting interfaith solidarity, natural dialogue, and inner peace. It will be of interest to religion, tourism and peace scholars, as well as to political scientists and anthropologists.

Book excerpt: Author Mary Riem lived the American dream. Her childhood in Seattle, Washington, was idyllic, infused by a wholesome family and faith. As she grew into a woman and an agnostic her ambition and passion led her to achieve success in many areas of her life. Riem dreamed of adventurous travel, and she realized her goal to experience the world on her terms. She seemed to have it all. But instead of great contentment, Riem found herself deep in despair, battling an eating disorder and drug addiction. In Journey to Peace, Riem shares her account of the dramatic ways that God revealed himself to her, and she tells why as an adult she became a Christian after many years of agnosticism. She narrates stories of her global travel, including a life-impacting experience working for Mother Teresa in India. A memoir, Journey to Peace tells how Riem transformed from one who constantly sought new experiences to satisfy her longings to a person of contentment and peace.

Book excerpt: In this remarkable book, recounting his long, influential career as a congressman from New York, Stephen Solarz gives an insider's view of the life of a hard-working legislator in the forefront of democracy movements and human rights during a tumultuous time in our nation's history. A member of the class of 1974, the so-called "Watergate" class, when 75 freshman Democrats were elected to the Congress, Solarz was part of the group that brought about a power shift in the House from an inner circle of senior committee chairs to a much larger group of subcommittee leaders. Early on he sought and won a seat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, where he earned a reputation as an expert in international relations, traveling to more than 100 countries and meeting the likes of Anwar Sadat, Menachem Begin, Nelson Mandela, Indira Gandhi, Saddam Hussein, Kim Il Sung, and Robert Mugabe. Solarz gives fascinating, detailed descriptions of his role in bringing democracy to South Korea and Taiwan, the triumph of people power in the Philippines, the peace agreement in Cambodia, the abolition of apartheid in South Africa, and the adoption of the resolution authorizing the use of force in the first Gulf War. Written in an engaging style, Journeys to War and Peace will appeal to all who value the struggle for human rights and seek a better understanding between differing cultures and peoples.
