Seventy Times Seven: Jesus's Path to Conflict Transformation

“I’ve struggled to put into words all this book has to offer. It asked me to consider living a life of complete audacity, patterned on the most daring and unrestrainedly good life ever lived. This book is an antidote to estrangement and fear: it takes Christ’s teachings at face value, it offers patterns of peaceful discipleship, and it connects lofty goals with concrete practice.”

“Mirroring Christ’s own path through a torn and tumultuous world, prophets have recently—and resoundingly—called the Latter-day Saints to make peace. For those unsure how to start in the face of seemingly overwhelming conflict, Chad Ford’s book forms necessary foundations from scripture and experience. As one of our most experienced and insightful peacemakers, he offers critical first steps for those called to live in love.”

“Seventy Times Seven is an inspiring invitation to become more like Jesus in the way we face misunderstanding, conflict, resistance, and even hate. Through moving stories from his own life and Jesus’s astonishing teachings and example, Chad Ford makes the convincing case that by commanding us to love one another as he did, Jesus called each of us to join him as peacemakers. Seventy Times Seven is a guidebook on what it means to answer that call. In a world that is tearing apart, it's a message of supreme importance."
