Living daily with news of war and violence can make it difficult to find peace of mind or think constructively about peacemaking in the wider world. At such times, we are especially in need of the spiritual comfort of the "alternative news" that comes from revisiting the wisdom teachings of the great spiritual traditions. This text offers ancient and contemporary wisdom and spiritual practices that affirm the choice of love in a world filled with fear. Each of the daily entries features an inspiring quotation from a leading spiritual teacher from a wide range of faiths and schools of thought. It also offers a reflection or story retold from one of the traditions and a brief meditation or practice for each day of the year. Readers can also use the book in an oracular way - opening at random to a topic or story that may prove to be appropriate for the moment. Thus the book will be highly interactive, easy to dip into and profound in its applicability to daily life.
