"Designed for an adult with junior youth in six sessions, this basic, clearly written book uses dialogue between youth and adults, enduring stories of peacemakers and biblical resources to answer the all-important question posed in the title. "Young people from pre-teen to young adult will find "But WHY don't we go to war?" accessible and stimulating." --Leonard Nolt, "The Mennonite" (December 28, 1993)

Written post-Gulf War, so you'll need to revise the first few sessions to reflect present circumstances. Written for parents and fifth and sixth graders; has been used as background for adult SS classes.
