On November 26, 2005, Christian Peacemaker Teams (CPT) members Tom Fox and Jim Loney along with delegation members Norman Kember and Harmeet Sooden were kidnapped in Iraq. Tom Fox was killed on March 9, 2006. Jim, Norman and Harmeet were freed two weeks later on March 23 after 118 days of captivity.
The kidnapping of these four peacemakers was like a rock thrown into a pond.
This collection describes the ripples on the water, the impact and results of that rock, in stories characterized by hope, courage, friendship, and forgiveness. 118 Days bears witness to vital peacemaking being done around the world in these times.
Tricia Gates Brown is the editor of pieces from 23 contributors to this volume.

Hey Chris, good to hear your voice/text reflecting a challenging image. It has a familiar and family-like tone. It reminds me too of Jesus noticing that his brothers and sisters and his mother were outside wanting to see him and JEsus remarks ... stretching out his hand ... these are my brothers and sisters, my mother (but no father except father/parent in heaven) ... whoever does the willofGod. I think you have that same sense ... and i'm glad.
Oh, and we miss you, too.
Hey Chris, i guess my greek nom de plume might confuse you.so,....
