Peter J. Dyck has spent most of his life with Mennonite Central Committee (MCC), a church service agency. He fines Christian service as living for others, in any role that truly benefits others, whether at home or abroad.

In these meditations for all ages, Dyck shares stories, insights from his wealth of experience, helping refugees, building peace, and challenging audiences. He especially promotes intergenerational family life. P>Will all our efforts, he says, we eventually learn that our greatest satisfaction comes from relationships with other people. We often fail and need forgiveness. With Paul, we confess that we see only "in a mirror, dimly," and "know only in part." We look forward to knowing fully, when we see our Lord "face to face." Meanwhile, the greatest grace is love.

"In this century no story out of the Mennonite experience has captured the hearts and minds of all Mennonites and Amish groups as the story of the Berlin Exodus in 1947. The departure from Berlin in the early morning hours of January 30 of 1,200 Mennonite refugees from Russia is part of a larger epic of the movement of 12,000 uproooted Mennonites to new homes in Paraguay, Uruguay, and North America. It brings to memory the biblical narrative of the mighty works of God in that first Exodus."--Robert Kreider
