| On November 26, 2005, Christian Peacemaker Teams (SPT) members Tom Fox and Jim Loney along with delegation members Norman Kember and Harmeet Sooden were kidnapped in Iraq. Tom Fox was killed on March 9, 2006. Jim, Norman and Harmeet were freed two weeks after 118 days of captivity. The kidnapping of these four men was like a rock thrown into a pond. This Cascadia edition of a book copublished with CPT describes the ripples on the water, the impact and results of that rock, in stories characterized by hope, courage, friendship, and forgiveness. 118 Days bears witness to vital peacemaking being done around the world in these times. The Cascadia edition is identical to the self-published CPT edition except for a few minor changes to accommodate the shift of publishers--such as revised title and copyright pages and updates to the section "Why we Self-Published."

| Arthur G. Gish records a moving story of the turmoil and suffering of the Palestinian people, the
agony experienced by Israelis, and a vision of hope and new possibilities of reconciliation between Jews,
Muslims, and Christians. From 1995 to 2001, Gish experiences living with Muslim families, engaging
in nonviolent actions with Israelis and Palestinians, and struggling to find creative responses to situations of
injustice. Selected excerpts from his journal tell of the Christian Peacemaker Teams (CPT) work and give a
vision of how small peacemaking groups can make a difference in violent conflicts. | | | | Getting in the Way: Stories from Christian Peacemaker Teams | View shopping basket | | by Tricia Gates Brown, editor | |

narratives were written by members of Christian Peacemaker Teams (CPT).
The fear, joy, and challenge faced by these committed Christians is
reported vividly from trouble spots like Haiti, Iraq, and Colombia,
where the CPT work to reduced violence and conflict. Whether relating
an account of incarceration in an Israeli prison, the death of a CPT
member in Iraq, or coming face-to-face with angry loggers in the
forests of Canada, the narratives in Getting in the Way are
intimate, moving, and deeply humanizing. Copyright 2005 Herald
