"Gonna Lay Down My Sword and Shield" - Can We Change From Warriors to Peacemakers?

Dec. 12, 2012 - PRLog -- Coming from a violent and warring history, isn’t it time to lay down our swords and shields and embrace a peaceful future?

The enlightening new book Gonna Lay Down My Sword and Shield suggests how we can create a better world and go from a Violent Past to a Compassionate Future. According to author Victor R.D. MacGill, “What I offer is only a very small part of the jigsaw puzzle that will help us move into the future.”

“Gonna Lay Down My Sword and Shield is a clarion call to all people weary of warring ways and seeking broader, more humane and compassionate comprehension of the world. With poetic insight and scientific understanding, MacGill provides an accessible entrée for the thinking and caring person wishing to make sense of an increasingly complex and apparently chaotic world. MacGill provides perspective and example to illuminate the emerging realities of our times, ones which call for our highest potential to transcend the myths of struggle and strife by reaching for ones that elevate the human spirit and celebrate the human being. This is a book for the evolutionary human, the one who wishes to take on the mantle of evolutionary co-creator with all of life on Earth, and as such, is essential reading for our times.” – Alexander Laszlo, Ph.D., president of the International Society for the Systems Sciences

The author says, “This book is a part of my spiritual quest to understand the nature of being human. I saw our use of violence as the biggest impediment to our spiritual development and many simple unrealistic answers as to how to get past violence.” Gonna Lay Down My Sword and Shield looks at how violence has been a part of our evolution from the beginning and examines what we need to do to learn to live compassionate lives that do not require us to use violence on each other.
