Publisher Description:

A Challenging Peace in the Life and Stories of Jesus is for anyone who is curious about the stories of Jesus, yearns for peace in their own lives and in the world today, or appreciates the intersections of art, story, faith, and justice. The book interprets forty stories from the Gospels through block print images created by the author, along with their Biblical texts. It also includes the author's own reflections that draw on the story, the art-making process, and how it all speaks to the challenge of making peace in our times. The author believes there are universal truths in the stories around Jesus that reach beyond the limits of Christianity and may help to unite us all in creating a more peace-filled world.

Contributor Bio(s): Hochhalter, Rev Cara B.: - The Rev. Cara B. Hochhalter is a retired United Church of Christ (UCC) minister. She received her Masters of Divinity from United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities in Minnesota, where she studied the intersections of art, theology, and justice. She says, "I find that the process of creating images becomes a means to break into Biblical texts and themes that are meaningful in today's world." Cara is an artist, a teacher, a peacemaker, and has served as minister for a church in Charlemont, Massachusetts for ten years. She now resides in Hyde Park, New York with her husband, Jeffrey.
