Of Grace and Bombs: A Peacemaker's Iraq War Journal (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781934406267)

Step into the Iraq War with one of America's foremost activists and peacemakers, Shane Claiborne.

In 2003, Shane Claiborne and a Christian peacemaking team traveled to Baghdad. As the war began and American bombs rained down, Claiborne kept his friends and community members in the U.S. up-to-date through a series of emails and journal entries.

Part first-hand historical record, part memoir, and part theological exploration, Of Grace and Bombs rouses the consciences of American Christians and challenges them to more closely follow Jesus, the Prince of Peace.

More relevant than ever, these journals will help answer the question: How should I respond to war, violence, and global crisis? To whom does my ultimate loyalty belong?

Includes:

-a timeline of the Iraq War

-a brand new foreword from Claiborne

-Claiborne's personal photos from the journey

This book is essential reading for Christians in an age of war and crisis, when we all must ask ourselves what it means to be a peacemaker.
