Summary: I Thought We'd Never Speak Again
Comment: This book has rocked my world. I literally have a different life after having read it. It has led me to take giant steps toward multiple personal reconciliations that have held me hostage for years, while also giving me a sense of collective purpose-- the significance of this kind of work toward a vision of reconciliation on a global scale can not be underestimated..
Am I the 100th monkey? All I can tell you is that from these pages came real changes . The stories evoked alot of head nodding and tears, with my own stories of estrangement suddenly having a tangible context within which to flourish and take heart... Maybe it was the great empathy with which it was written, or the detailed way in which Ms Davis is able to take us down that jungle path into the contrary ways of the heart ...these things followed by stories of those doing the good work of reconciling entire classes of people in political or religious conflict made for one very moved, well fed, and lately enlightened monkey.

Summary: Reconciliation: A Path to Healing
Comment: In reading Laura Davis's book, I was struck by how often the smallest thing can cause a rift and tear apart a life. When she discusses the various ways that people have been able to heal these rifts, it gives me great hope for our world. We are at war because people cannot reconcile, cannot stop fighting and hating long enough to even consider a way back. Yet for the future of our children and our planet, a way must be found. "I Thought We Would Never Speak Again" provides many examples to help find our way, including that of Arab and Israeli children meeting and truly getting to know each other for the first time, not as evil stereotypes, but as humans and even friends.
The sage Mencius said: "The men of old, wishing to clarify and diffuse throughout the Empire that light which comes from looking directly into the heart and acting, first set up good government in their own states. Wanting good government in their own states, they first established order in their families. Seeking order in their families, they first disciplined themselves. Wishing to discipline themselves, they first rectified their hearts."
Laura's book shows us the steps to rectify our hearts so we can then reconcile our relationships in order to open a path to healing.

Summary: Pure Genius
Comment: For the coauthor of The Courage to Heal to publish a how-to guide to reconciliation-- you just have to take off your hat in the presence of that kind of chutzpah.
