About

Conflict is inevitable. Peace is essential.

The Path of a Peacemaker offers a simple, proven path to a lifestyle of peace. It guides you through an examination of your own personal story, identifying the origins of your hopes and fears. Then it invites you to understand and embrace God's approach to conflict, take responsibility for your own part in conflict, and connect with others in a spirit of humility as you learn to listen first, ask for forgiveness, and move forward, even if the conflict remains unresolved.

When conflict turns into peace, frustration becomes clarity, turmoil becomes unity, and God is glorified.

Jim Van Yperen, founder and president of Metanoia Ministries and author of Making Peace: A Guide to Overcoming Church Conflict

"I've known Brian as a peacemaking colleague for years, but I didn't really know him until reading this book. He demonstrates both humility and transparency, with his personal accounts making this book very relatable. To say Brian is passionate about peacemaking can't be overstated, and his passion rings through in these pages. You will find in this book a useful approach to pointing people to true peace. To quote Brian, 'Peace is possible if, at first, you connect with the Peacemaker himself.'"

Dwight Schettler, president of Ambassadors of Reconciliation

"As long as I have known Brian, he has embodied peacemaking. This book beautifully captures years of his personal and professional reconciliation experience. In a compelling and accessible format, filled with poignant stories and practical advice, Brian skillfully walks anyone experiencing relational tension on a journey back toward connection. The Path of the Peacemaker provides a biblical framework for how lasting peace is established as we examine our own stories in light of the gospel."

Daniel Teater, LPC, MDiv, MAC, CCC, president of Live at Peace Ministries

"The Path of a Peacemaker describes Brian Noble's unique approach for resolving conflict. Brian not only imparts ideas with illustrations but also tells his own story, weaving it throughout. In sharing his own weaknesses, Brian exemplifies walking The Path of a Peacemaker. Readers are encouraged to walk the path to Jesus and with him in their conflicts, relying on his justice and mercy. Many will be blessed by this book."

Ted Kober, senior ambassador for Ambassadors of Reconciliation

"This book is worth its weight in gold! Brian Noble shares a compassionate journey that can help anyone transform tough problems into positive solutions for genuine, healthy relationships. Each chapter in The Path of the Peacemaker is filled with solid, practical navigation for conflict resolution, as if Jesus were standing in our midst. Brian Noble lays out three bold steps to 'ascend, reflect, and connect' using our life stories and a renewed perspective about God. The Path of the Peacemaker should be on everyone's required reading list to better understand how our perspective about God affects the peace we have in everyday relationships."
