Book Description
Each square represents snapshots of life capturing time within each border. Peace in Pieces is a collection of forty-one poems that grapple with the complexity of living. Writing has been Peggy Belles's uncensored outlet throughout her life. Documented here in captivating verse are the immense challenges and indelible experiences of one woman's journey from a childhood marred by abuse, family addiction, and death into adulthood and the pursuit of a purposeful life for herself by helping others. Much like squares of a quilt, each poem in Peace in Pieces serves as a story of its own-a distinct sliver of Belles's life-but together they illustrate the humbling lessons that come with experience. Loss, shame, abuse, and regret are influences of Belles's words, but ultimately the power of vulnerability and the cyclical nature of blame and forgiveness are the prizes waiting in reflection. The poems run the gamut of some of life's most tragic themes. But through shimmering stanzas comes a sense of triumph amid challenge and the uplifting notion that inner peace is only waiting to be discovered. Ultimately, Belles's autobiography as told through her poetry is much more than it seems. Peace in Pieces captures a powerful sense of self-a deep consciousness and awareness that reveals that true inner strength is more than the mere ability to march on through adversity.

Book Description
Peace by Piece Not since Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning have I read a narrative of trauma survival and recovery that has impacted me this profoundly. Cheryl writes in unflinching first person, giving voice to the little girl trapped in the dark heart of abject torture-the terror and loss is real-time and sensorial for the reader-and out the other side into the light of recovery and healing. It is a breathless journey that leaves the reader awe-struck and reverent to the resilience of children to survive evil with their innocence intact and the eternally-springing hope of being loved and accepted by their abusers. This book is a rare treat that navigates the path of heartbreak to the path of posttraumatic growth all the way to the restoration of life, love, safety, joy, meaning and satisfaction-peace by piece. It is an intimately personal story that shimmers with honesty and is not once melodramatic or contrived. Instead, this book is a finely chiseled heroine's story. The story of a courageous adult who returns to her painful past to rescue and champion her younger self out of the miasma of past violence to the Grace of the present that-by the end of the book-we find ourselves celebrating. Reading the last page of this book felt as though something important was achieved and something precious received-not just for Cheryl, but also for myself and all humankind. A month after reading this book I find it still continues to haunt me...in the best of ways. J. Eric Gentry, PhD, DAAETS, FAAETS President Forward-Facing Institute

Book Description
In the book, "In Peace Not Pieces", Pastor Bennie & Bowden take the concept of peace, one of the most cherished values, and break new ground with a thought provoking perspective of the Sierra Leone civil war, which for eleven years brutally ravaged her political and socio-economic spheres. As this book documents, spiritual effrontery, unwavering faith in our God and the resilience of Christians become the avenue for sustainable peace in Sierra Leone. Godly procedures for peace, as adopted by the Sierra Leone Christians, are the only means for sustainable reconciliation in any conflict. On behalf of GEM International, I highly recommend this book to individuals, Churches, communities and nations in conflict who desire to pursue Godly and sustainable peace. The Sierra Leone Christians' strategy is the paradigm for conflict resolution and pursuance of lasting peace in global tensions.
