History
Peaceful
Earth was compiled in response to my own search for healing
beyond tragedy. I compiled the original version of Peaceful
Earth in response to the tragedy of September 11th, 2001.
I was seeking
for a way to deal with my own pain and anger so I sought the words of
wisdom from my spiritual mentors. Then I felt that if their words of
wisdom could comfort me and help me get to that place of "centeredness"
than it could also help countless others.
Practical
Peace
Then after
the first edition came out, I started talking with people who really
enjoyed reading the words of wisdom but felt that a PRACTICAL aspect
was missing. "So the principles are great, but how do we put them
into practice in our daily lives?" were questions that I heard.
I turned
right back and asked people, "what can we do to stay in the energy
of peace?" Thus I started compiling a TOP 10 List of things each
and every one of us can "do" to be peace. The results are
included in the revised edition. The answers came from people from all
walks of life. And they are simple, practical things that each and every
one of us can be doing to manifest peace.
I know that
even NOW, I refer back to the book to help me stay "centered"
in peace. If I get sapped into the media, or the idea of war, I pick
up the book and start reading the words of wisdom. Then I am able to
come from a place of optimism and peace.
A
Powerful Reference
I continually
hear from people that they use the book as a reference and pick it up
and read parts of it over and over to just stay in that energy of peace.
The book
is becoming Internationally recognized as well. So far I have received
book orders from India, Africa, Australia, New Zealand and England.
Applying
the Principles to Relationships
One of the
stories that most people like in the book is the story about what I
learned from St. Francis of Assisi. I was NOT experiencing peace in
a relationship with my mother, and I watched a biography of St. Francis
of Assisi and applied the things I learned from him with my relationship
with my mother. Now, our relationship has been completely transformed.
I guess most people can relate to this story in some way or another.
What
others are saying about Peaceful Earth...
"Here's
the single best resource in book form for anyone seeking perspective
about the War on Terrorism. This reasonably priced anthology shares
a range of wisdom from some of America's leading spiritual teachers.
Commentary by Alan Cohen is his usual gold standard? It's wisdom that
can ease your heart and awaken your spirit. Dan Millman, another outstanding
New Age writer, explains "Let's not give more power to a small
group of zealots; let's not let them live in our heads rent-free."
Midwest
Book Review, Jan 2002 and Pathways Magazine,
Jan 2002.
"This collection of essays by spiritual leaders was compiled to
offer guidance and hope to those suffering from the September 11th terrorist
attacks. The writers address questions such as, "Why did God let
this happen?" "How can I help?" and "Where do we
go from here?" The essays were all written while the world was
still reeling from the images of the attack, and powerful feelings of
shock, grief, and outrage clearly run through the writers" words.
It was oddly calming to know that even religious and spiritual leaders,
who as a group often seem pillars of strength and stoicism, were also
strongly affected. It makes their responses more believable and therefore
more comforting. The essays are short? They are no more than five or
ten minutes each, yet quite uplifting. Hepner has highlighted quotable
phrases within each piece, so even just glancing through the pages yields
words of wisdom and solace."
NAPRA Review
Jan/ Feb 2002.
"While
most of the spirituality books about September 11 and its aftermath
have catered to the evangelical market, with Charles Stanley, Max Lucado
and other Christians weighing in, some of the most recognizable names
in the New Age movement contribute to Lisa Hepner's collection, Peaceful
Earth: Spiritual Perspectives on Hope and Healing Beyond Terrorism.
Neale Donald Walsch, Marianne Williamson, Terry Cole-Whittaker and Dan
Millman headline the anthology, with various pieces addressing global
unity, peacemaking and the dangers of religious fanaticism""
Publishers
Weekly, December 2001
"Here is an excellent resource to cultivate a peaceful mind in
these trying times. Peaceful Earth: Spiritual Perspectives on Hope and
Healing Beyond Terrorism is a compilation of wisdom from some of the
world's leading spiritual teachers. Alan Cohen, Dan Millman, Terry Cole-Whittaker
and Marianne Williamson are but a few of the writers who share with
us a spiritual view of current events. As a chaplain, editor Lisa Hepner
is trained to 'see the highest good' even when outside reality appears
otherwise. "As a person interested in spiritual growth, I wanted
to know how our greatest spiritual minds viewed our most recent incident."
What she created was a book that can spread the message of love, peace
and healing to everyone. Alan Cohen's commentary can ease your heart
and awaken your spirit. Neale Donald Walsch encourages us to provide
peace for another if we wish to experience peace. Dan Millman challenges
us by saying 'Once their damage is done, terrorists can only haunt our
lives with our cooperation; let's not give it to them.'"
Concepts
Magazine, March/April 2002
"This book is very simple at its core. It is a collection of pieces
of many sorts that have in common the idea that human beings can live
in peace and harmony. It provides resources and ideas for those who
want to know how to seek peace beyond the "war on terrorism."
Much of its spiritual perspective is Christian Protestantism, but not
all. The book seeks to offer inner peace, perspective and suggestions
of ways in which peace can take hold and grow. It may seem simplistic
as you read it. But think about it. Peace is, after all, a very simple
thing. If enough people want it..."
The Statesman
Journal, April 28, 2002
"A wide ranging and thoughtful exploration of our opportunities
to create a more peaceful world...Lisa Hepner offers here a significant
contribution to global healing."

Magazine, February 2003
Excerpts
"Let
us seek not to pinpoint blame, but to pinpoint cause."
Neale Donald Walsch
"If we allow this crisis to transform us personally, then our country
will achieve a badly needed shift in our collective ground of being:
spiritual issues will take primacy over material things, love will take
primacy over money, and hope and faith will take primacy over cynicism
and apathy.""
Marianne Williamson
"Since
September 11th, we have better communication, more prayer, and more
people attending church than ever before. We're starting to understand
who we
are in God and who God is, in us."
Mark Victor Hansen
"The
issue is how we can join together to create a world in which such pathology
will no longer be nurtured."
Jean Houston
"Let"s not give more power to a small group of zealots; let's
not let them live in our heads rent-free."
Dan Millman
"Perhaps
the message is that it is time to trade our old world for
one more connected to our center."
Alan Cohen
"The best way to bring peace in the world is to be peaceful."
Terry Cole-Whittaker
"The tragedy of September 11th was huge. The good that can and
will come from it is equally as huge."
Bob Proctor
"There is no force greater than the power of love."
Mary Manin Morrissey
"I
am confident that the time is ripe for us to begin implementing radically
different forms of conflict resolution at all levels."
Marshall Rosenberg
