Father of the House $30.00 The Memoirs of Kim E. Beazley (2009, 335 pages, Pbk, Freemantle Press, Australia ISBN 3-24.29-4079-2) Kim E Beazley was Australia's Minister for Education 1972-75 and was responsible for some of the most enduring reforms of the Whitlam Labor Government. Mike Steketee in The Australian , January 1 2009 entitled ‘Principle not Power’ mentions the suspicion with which Beazley’s Labor colleagues viewed his commitment to Moral Re-Armament (now Initiatives of Change) . ‘The Aus- tralian tradition is to keep religion and politics apart but for Beazley they were inseparable. “If you do not accept the importance of conscience, you accept only the importance of power,” he once said.’ Steketee concludes that ‘his story overall is one that restores faith in politics.’

His father went on to become Premier of Western Australia, but Gordon’s own life path proved to have its own adventures, including service in World War II as an RAAF pilot in Coastal Command over European waters. This story tells of traveling on five continents, meeting union leaders, em- ployers, prime ministers, presidents, journalists and religious leaders, and often bringing together people who would otherwise never have met. It tells of staying with a Buddhist Abbot in his Thai monastery and later introducing him to the Pope; of flying in the Berlin Airlift and over the jungles of Vietnam and Laos; and of two personal interviews with Churchill. It is about leadership, responsi- bility and humility.

Iraqi Statesman – A portrait of Mohammed Fadhel Jamali $10.00 By Harry J. Almond (1993, 175 pages, Pbk, Grosvenor Books USA. Salem, OR ISBN 1-85239-509-5) “Iraqi Statesman is at once an engaging portrait of an Iraqi statesman in pre-Saddam Iraq and a picture of the more humane society Iraq once was and may yet become.” Richard Nolte President, American Geographical Society; Former US Ambassador to Egypt “Fadhel Jamali combined modernism and devout Islam in his distinguished career in Iraqi politics prior to the overthrow of the monarchy in 1958. American trained, yet a true Arab nationalist, he contributed materially to bringing Iraq into the society of nations before the takeover by the Ba’ath party. We may yet hope that another Jamali will appear on the Iraqi political scene.” Herman Frederick Eilts Chairman, Dept. of International Relations, Boston University; Former US Ambassador to Saudi Arabia and Egypt

Matched Pair – the Elys of Embassy Row $10.00 By Jarvis Harriman (1999, 254 pages, Pbk, Pooh Stix Press. Tucson, AZ ISBN 0-9634323-1-1) This remarkable biography brings to life not only two intriguing individuals, but also the era in which they lived—the American century, when Americans were called on to provide the means and the statesmanship to win a war and then a peace. Born to privilege, Jack and Connie Ely chose to exchange ease and comfort for an exhilarating adventure as new-world pioneers. Connie’s father was a friend and partner of the Rockefellers, while Jack’s was a physician whose patients included the family of Franklin Roosevelt. Yet the Elys modeled a life of generosity and service that reached out to rich and poor, black and white, magnate and coal miner. From their base on Washington’s Embassy Row, the Elys took their convictions across the world: to the desolate German Ruhr at the close of World War II, the African veldt, the Indian subcontinent, and, perhaps most significantly, to the corridors of power in Washington.

Only twenty years old and head of development of Edison Park in Fort Myers, Florida, Newton endeared himself to the Edisons—and a chain of acquaintances began. Based on Newton’s diaries, recollections and extensive correspondence, Uncommon Friends is a rich, lively, resonant memoir—the perfect tribute to the very human aspects of five uncommon heroes.

Never to Lose My Vision - The Story of Bill Jaeger $10.00 By Clara Jaeger (1995 187 pages, Pbk, Grosvenor Books. London, England ISBN 1-85239-022-0) From an early age Bill Jaeger had a passion for social justice. This was fired by his upbringing in the hard industrial environment of Stockport, England, and his meeting with MRA (now Initiatives of Change) which led him to become friend and confidant to leaders in labor and politics in many lands. Jaeger’s skills as a teambuilder made possible an extraordinary outreach, and his understanding of individuals put him at home in any company: young students, Ruhr communists, African-American pioneers, industrialists, and leaders in Russia and China. His course was not without troubles and opposition. Yet as he says, “I have learned never to lose my vision”—a vision of a world where men and women of all races and classes can work together to fulfill need and end injustice.

Some of today's generation will determine to change things. They will scale the Himalayan heights to create an alternative future. What does it mean to have a calling-to give one's life for a great cause? The stories in this book, taken largely from the entrepreneurial field, serve as illustra- tions of such a determination to make a difference, to change the world... I wanted to present the stories in this book in the hope that they would be a source of inspiration to others.

Smith argues that beyond the bottom line lie other criteria—the social, the ethical and the environmental—which companies of any size ig- nore at their peril. IofC Books PAGE 6 Religion and Diplomacy______

Holy War, Holy Peace: How Religion Can Bring Peace to the Middle Eas t $20.00 By Marc Gopin (2002, 288 pages, Hardcover, Oxford University Press ISBN 01-951-46506) The complete neglect of deeper cultural and religious systems in the Middle East peace process is now apparent, as is the role that this neglect has played in the failure of the process. Building on his earlier book, Between Eden and Armageddon , Gopin provides a detailed blueprint of how the religious traditions in question can become a principal asset in the search for peace and justice. He demonstrates how religious people can be the critical link in peacemaking and how the incorporation of their values and symbols can unleash a new dynamic that directly addresses basic issues of ethics, justice, and peace. “For twenty years Marc Gopin has stood in the gap between Israelis and Palestinians... Diplomats, politicians, and educators who yearn for peace among the ‘Abrahamic peoples’ should read this book. It will show them how the Abrahamic religions can become a taproot of that peace.” Donald W. Shriver, Jr., author of An Ethic for Enemies

Religion, The Missing Dimension of Statecraft $20.00 Edited by Douglas Johnston and Cynthia Sampson (1994, 350 pages, Hardcover, Center for Strategic and International Studies. Oxford University Press, New York, NY ISBN 0-19-508734-8) Religion plays a crucial role in many international conflicts, yet, for the most part, diplomacy either ignores or misunderstands the role. This unified collection of case studies and theoretical pieces attempts to restore this missing dimension to its rightful place in the conduct of international diplomacy. It offers the first systematic account of modern cases in which religion or spiritual factors have played a part in preventing or resolving conflict and achieving nonviolent change. A distinguished roster of scholars provides examples from Europe, Central America, Asia, and Africa. Additional essays bring out the implications of these case studies for foreign policy and for the religious communities. “Holds lessons not only for government officials but also for religious leaders willing to take initiatives for peace.” NY Times

Healing Streams $10.00 By Sushobha Barve (2003, 232 pages, Pbk, Penguin Books India ISBN 0-14-302962-2) On a train journey in 1984, Sushobha Barve watched in horror as two of her co-passengers were beaten up, set afire and left to die in the aftermath of Indira Gandhi’s assassination. The nightmare of that journey led her to find ways of preventing such conflagrations and, where violence had already occurred, working towards alleviating the distress and sense of hopelessness that such events leave in their wake. It was an exploration that took her to Bhagalpur in 1989, Mumbai in 1992 and Ahmed- abad in 2002, where some of the worst riots in post-Partition India had occurred. Thrown into the middle of pitched battles and desperate attempts to save lives, she discovered a world of simmering bitterness and hatred, of lives reduced to utter despair by a few days of madness. She also discov- ered that her self-appointed task of preventing and alleviating distress required enormous fortitude and courage. This account of her work with riot victims is an engrossing and topical book that ad- dresses the reality that escapes the newspaper headlines, the suffering that continues long after the events themselves have dimmed from our memory. It is heartbreaking work but the rewards, for her as for the reader who follows her on this journey, are dazzling. IofC Books PAGE 7

From war-torn Europe to civil war in China, from the rise of black nationalist independence movements in Africa to the civil rights hotbed in the U.S, in the lives of great leaders such as Mahatma Gandhi, Konrad Adenauer, and Harry Truman – Buchman’s remarkable influence kept turning up. “Buchman was one of the most charismatic and influential leaders in the Christian world during the twentieth century. Until Garth Lean’s biography was written, the story of Frank Buchman had never been fully told…" James I. McCord Templeton Prize Winner and Chairman of Princeton’s Center of Theological Inquiry

In this book we meet a fascinating range of characters - writers, unemployed, students and politicians - many of them closely involved in the ideological struggle that has raged before, during and since World War II.

Streams $10.00 By Mark O. Gouldseth (1982, 180 pages, Pbk ISBN 0-911103-00-7) This book traces the wellsprings of Frank Buchman’s life’s work and discovers the people who may have passed on to him at least part of the floodtide of faith and originality which he pos- sessed. Two streams converged. One lead back to a man named D. L. Moody, the other to an American of still earlier generation, Charles Finney. This story is the flow of those streams.

It is set against the emergence of political freedom in Eastern Europe and the search for inner freedom in the West. The authors have traveled widely. They have seen color, humor and inner liberty in unexpected places, even amongst those who have suffered under the greyness of totalitarian regimes. If true liberty is something we want, the search for it will have to be at a deep level. Does our freedom allow us the freedom to dream? Are we free from materialism and fear? Are we able to take on the most exacting freedom of all, the freedom to care? This freedom would mean a freedom to serve, to make a better world for our children to live in; to restore relationships; to tackle the bitter legacies in the world; to discover, invent, and create.

This 39-minute documentary film brings to life the astonishing recon- ciliation between Imam Muhammad Ashafa and Pastor James Wuye, and their peacemaking initiatives which have ensued.

Pastor Wuye lost a hand while Imam Ashafa's mentor and two close relatives were killed in the fighting. Now they are taking bold initiatives to promote co- operation and resolve conflicts. The film, narrated by Rageh Omaar, shows that it is possible for the perpetrators of inter-religious violence to become instigators of peace. It is a story of forgiveness and a case study of grass-roots initiatives to rebuild communities torn apart by conflict.

She was a nurse and fought in the Resistance, seeing women and children die. In 1945 she was elected to the Constituent Assembly and became Secretary General of the Socialist Women of France.

Modern communications have made the world into one large community.

God has given us this world. It is up to us to be responsible for it.” Charles Piguet and Michel Sentis.
