Geoffrey Duncan, whose many anthologies have provided a seemingly never-ending supply of new worship material, turns his attention to an issue of perpetual and pressing concern. Writers from many countries join with voices from the ages in a collection that reflects one of humanity's deepest longings - the desire for peace.

Arranged in six sections: "Visions of Peace", "Circles of Protective Peace", "Finding Peace", "Working for Peace", "Where there is no peace" and "The Prince of Peace", this is a collection with a wide appeal throughout the religious market.

It is ideal as a resource for worship, prayer groups and school assemblies, focussing on peace between individuals, between nations and peace of mind and heart. The writers are from many cultures and from across the centuries expressing a universal longing for peace.
