But whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’ And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on it; if not, it will return to you. (Luke 10:5-6)

In Search of Persons of Peace is packed with extraordinary stories that will thrill your heart and motivate you to action... Encounter famous historical missionaries whose lives and ministries were forever changed through encounters with persons of peace. Enjoy with fresh insight the New Testament persons of peace stories. Discover individuals who are today seeing countless souls saved as a result of finding persons of peace.

God has receptive people, persons of peace, of every age and every walk of life who are ready to influence multitudes for Christ. He uses us to find them and share his life-changing message. Persons of peace then become a bridge to their families, friends, and acquaintances. When God connects a witness to a person of peace, witnesses multiply incredibly fast. Persons of peace are all around us. Will you join in the search to find them?

If you want to hear true stories of people coming to faith, then look no further. These stories could have come right out of the bible. They reveal no new truth but rather reinforce centuries of timeless truth. Must read!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Worthy Inspirational Book
Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2016
[Note: This book was provided free of charge by Aneko Books/One Mission Society in exchange for an honest review.]

The concept of peace discussed in this book is peace in the sense of the Hebrew shalom, which not only means peace in the absence of war, but peace as in active wholeness and reconciliation between God and man and mankind with other people. As is the case with the books I have read so far relating to the mission of the One Mission Society, this book contains a great deal of enthusiastic commentary on missionary efforts. As someone who has served in the missionary field in Southeast Asia, among the Karen and Lahu peoples, I was familiar with some of the stories discussed in this book, as they are very familiar in missionary circles. The author, in mixing together discussions of biblical people of influence, as well as a discussion of the workings of divine providence as they relate to evangelism efforts, does a skillful job in making this book an inspirational guide to those who practice evangelism in some fashion, whether in their own lives, or as missionaries on some sort of assignment around the world.

In terms of its organization and structure, the author straightforwardly discusses various elements of what it means to be a person of peace, and what qualities they tend to have when it comes to amplifying the ministry of an eveangelist. After introducing the Sandal people of India, as well as the on-the-job training that tends to happen when it comes to recognizing such people and being meeting them, often through divine providence, the author comments on how persons of peace are receptive to learning God’s way, well-known with either a very good or a very bad reputation in their communities, and connected to others, which allows for the message to get out all the more when they convert to Christianity. The author then closes the book with a couple of chapters on wisdom from the Bible as well as some useful parables that deal with preaching the Gospel that are worthwhile to keep in mind.

The strengths of this book are many. The stories mix well-argued biblical discussions, including a very forthright one about Paul’s interactions with Lydia as evidence that he had moved beyond the sexism of the Pharisaic mindset of his time, with stories about well-known missionaries in various parts of the world, along with people who are currently involved in missionary efforts, at times at great risk to their lives. At least a few of the people here appear to be engaged in missionary efforts that are particularly dangerous, mostly in the Muslim world, although there was one worrisome example of a clandestine missionary work in a Caribbean country that could not be named, which I supposed to be Cuba. The author herself is also someone who has put her money where her mouth is, so to speak, by serving as a missionary for women caught up in sex trafficking or in the sex industry, the sort of people for whom the message of Jesus Christ giving respect and dignity to all is something of great importance given the fact that being treated as mere objects for gratification takes a heavy toll on the dignity of all too many women. The book is short, but intensely practical, and gives plenty of food for thought and good material for application.

4.0 out of 5 stars Encouraging

Offered more chapters, but not available in Australia? The book itself is encouraging in its outlook and preparation, it uses the term of the title in a different way than expected. It is what we are all called to do?
