The Rwanda story is amazing.  I've seen videos of Gacacas that cover the process of reconciliation and I was floored.  Peace IS possible.

Another great book is Amish Grace: How Forgiveness Transcended Tragedy

It's about the Nickel Mines, PA Amish school shooting.  The story is another amazing and truthful one about forgiveness, grace and reconciliation.  Very thought provoking.

Thanks for the awesome post!
