NO ENEMY TO CONQUER
by Michael Henderson

Paper 6 x 9 - 230 pages - February 2009

FORGIVENESS IN AN UNFORGIVING WORLD Foreword by the Dalai Lama

Complete with a foreword from the Dalai Lama, No Enemy to Conquer offers dramatic evidence that validates the power of forgiveness and reveals unexpected paths to peace. A stunning array of commentators from around the world, including the late Benazir Bhutto, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Chief Rabbi Jonathan Sacks and Rajmohan Gandhi, provide their own thoughts on forgiveness. The result is a multi-voiced call to value and practice forgiveness in a troubled world.

Henderson takes us on a journey that is both moving and inspiring. This book merits the attention of political leaders and policymakers alike.

— Douglas M. Johnston, President and Founder of the International Center for Religion and Diplomacy
