"When people in a democracy are not educated in the art of living - to strengthen their conscience, compassion and ability to question and think critically - they can be easily manipulated by fear and propaganda.  A democracy is only as wise as its citizens, and a democracy of ignorant citizens can be as dangerous as a dictatorship" ~ Paul K. Chappell


Paul elaborates on three kinds of change that will aid us to bring about peace, societal change, spiritual change, and ideological change. Paul shows how these changes take place gradually. Paul details a non-violent approach that can be used on a personal, community, national and global levels to bring about a different approach to handling disagreements, violence and aggression.

"Captain Paul K. Chappell has given us a crucial look at war and peace from the unique perspective of a soldier, and his new ideas show us why world peace is both necessary and possible in the 21st century." ~ Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate
