What the world needs now is Michael Crosby’s latest book! The Paradox of Power: From Control to Compassion is a powerful reminder that we are called to be peacemakers—within ourselves, in our relationships and in the world. I’m posting this review on 9/11—a day that makes it difficult for many to hear the message that God requires of us unconditional love and forgiveness, that it’s not enough just to try and keep the peace, that we must go out and make peace.I personally need to take to heart Crosby’s lesson that making peace more often than not begins with giving up the need to be in control, and that making peace with others often begins with making peace with yourself. Reading about Crosby’s journey from control to relationship, from confrontation to peacemaking, is an inspiring roadmap for creating both inner and outer peace.—Joe Tye, author and values coach
