Brenda and Samia inspire people around the world to be healers and liberators rather than captives and victimsBy Pathways2PeaceThis bookis a remarkable testimony and tool. Indeed much of its power as a tool is precisely in the testimony. Brenda and Samia did not allow themselves to remain captives enslaved to their own pain, but showed/show how the very painful can actually be a tool for healing. Their work is reminiscent of the words of the great Hassidic master Susya of Anipol that only when one knows the pain of the other can one learn to love the other. Pain diminishes us if it leads to egocentricity and insensitivity to others; but it can ennoble us when it enables us to be even more compassionate towards others. May Samia and Brenda's example continue to inspire people around the world to be healers and liberators rather than captives and victims.

A True Hope For Peace and a Guide To Mutual RespectBy Angelika B.This very needed book for our crucial times illustrates the possibility of coexistence, possibility for peace. Harnessing The Power of Tension teaches us how to use tension to deeper our understanding, respect and care for one another in all dimensions of our lives; in business, school, work, community- wherever it may be. Brenda and Samia show us how important it is not to let tension use us, but instead build alliances with people that we share this world. We cannot escape tension. Let's learn how to embrace and use tension so that we can start creating a just, peaceful and safe future without pain and misunderstanding.
