<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>What makes real reconciliation possible? Katongole and Rice work from their experiences in Uganda and Mississippi to recover distinctively Christian practices that can help the church be both a sign and an agent of God's reconciling love in the fragmented world of the 21st century.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p> <strong> <em>Christianity Today</em> Book Award winner</strong> </p><p> <strong>Our world is broken and cries out for reconciliation.</strong> </p><p>But mere conflict resolution and peacemaking are not enough. What makes real reconciliation possible? How is it that some people are able to forgive the most horrendous of evils? And what role does God play in these stories? Does reconciliation make any sense apart from the biblical story of redemption?</p><p>Secular models of peacemaking are insufficient. And the church has not always fulfilled its call to be agents of reconciliation in the world. In <em>Reconciling All Things</em> Emmanuel Katongole and Chris Rice, codirectors of the Center for Reconciliation at Duke Divinity School, cast a comprehensive vision for reconciliation that is biblical, transformative, holistic and global. They draw on the resources of the Christian story, including their own individual experiences in Uganda and Mississippi, to bring solid, theological reflection to bear on the work of reconciling individuals, groups and societies. They recover distinctively Christian practices that will help the church be both a sign and an agent of God's reconciling love in the fragmented world of the twenty-first century.</p><p>This powerful, concise book lays the philosophical foundations for reconciliation and explores what it means to pursue hope in areas of brokenness in theory and practice.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><em>Reconciling All Things</em> is an excellent book that provides a solid framework for the books that will follow in IVP's Resources for Reconciliation series. It also would serve well as a conversation starter in our church communities, particularly as we seek to discern what the Mission of God looks like in our particular location.</p>--Chris Smith, The Englewood Review of Books (erb.kingdomnow.org) 2, no. 13<br><br><p><em>Reconciling All Things</em> is the best book I have read during the preceding course of twelve months. I call this book 'true theology in practice.' What makes this book an invaluable resource is its message of reconciliation, the wisdom it embodies, and the fact that both Rice and Katongole have been actively involved in this journey!</p>--Celucien L. Joseph, Christ, My Righteousness (christmyrighteousness9587.wordpress.com), February 21, 2009<br><br><p>Center for Reconciliation founders Emmanuel Katongole and Chris Rice use personal experiences and historic examples to illustrate their roadmap for reconciliation work. Reconciliation is not a theory or an achievement, they teach, but a gift of God, an invitation to a story, a journey with God's new creation as the goal.</p>--KB, Mennonite Brethren Herald, October 2009<br><br><p>Deeply theological, this short book needs slow reading by anyone interested in harnessing the power of the spirit for social change.</p>--Publishers Weekly, September 1, 2008<br><br><p>There is much to commend this slim volume. Catholic and Protestant lay persons and seminary students alike will benefit from the authors' expansive theological vision of reconciliation.</p>--Philip D. Kenneson, Reviews in Religion Pyschology, Vol 17, Issue 2<br>
