Publisher's summary

Winner of more than 30 awards and endorsed by three presidents and three Nobel Peace Prize winners, Great Peacemakers can renew your hope in humanity and help you create more peace in your own life.

In this audiobook, you’ll meet 20 of the most inspiring people of our time - men and women who prove one person can make a positive difference…and sometimes even change the world.

Addressing everything from international peace to inner peace, you’ll meet:

  • Famous leaders like Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr.
  • Humanitarians like Mother Teresa and Albert Schweitzer
  • Spiritual teachers like the Dalai Lama and Thich Nhat Hanh

You’ll also get to know people promoting peace in surprising ways:

  • Renown environmentalists like Rachel Carson and David Suzuki
  • Animal welfare advocates like Jane Goodall and Astrid Lindgren
  • So-called “ordinary” people creating extraordinary change

In this professionally-narrated audiobook, you’ll discover the essence of each peacemaker’s life story and some of their most powerful insights and inspiring quotes.

Find out why Great Peacemakers has been praised by so many luminaries, like Nobel Peace Prize winner and former president of Costa Rica, Dr. Oscar Arias, who said: “Great Peacemakers should be required reading for the youth of the world.”

Such an “Illumined” Book!!!

Reading/Listening to the stories of individuals who contributed to the betterment of Humanity, Nature and Animals world-wide, in their own time and place, was extremely inspiring for me. It’s the “Good News” that we can all be inspired and benefit from! The authors organized and put it together very nicely!!! I recommend it to everyone; young and old!!!!
