About this title

Synopsis

Preacher Peter is wakened by strange noises on the roof. To his dismay he finds there are young men destroying his hatch. As a Mennonite minister he believes in the way of peace, so instead of calling the authorities or shouting threats, Peter and his wife invite the young men in for a midnight meal. Their act of kindness brings unexpected results.

Peter is not alone in this collection of true stories. Each tells of returning love for hate, good for evil. Written for elementary age children (but of interest to teens and adults), Elizabeth H. Bauman shares 17 true stories of men and women from various times and countries who showed the universal power of Christian love.

About the Author

Elizabeth Hershberger Bauman (1924-1995), lived much of her life in Goshen, Indiana, where she was a mother of four children; school teacher; and active in her congregation. She and her husband, Harold E. Bauman, served in Ireland for two years in reconciliation work. Coals of Fire was written at the request of the Mennonite Church in 1954 and has become a classic on Christian peacemaking and nonresistance.
