A beautifully illustrated parable about activating our green hearts—where love and compassionate choice heal division, improve relationships, and inspire peace.
What if the path to peace—internally and externally—resides not on “battle” grounds but within our hearts?
For more than six thousand years, the Quartics have fought to protect humanity from the Wartons. When two Quartic warriors connect with a forgotten truth—the radiant energy of the green heart—they discover that real strength comes not from conquest, but from love and compassion.
Through delightful illustrations and accessible storytelling, The Green Heart: Our Path to Peace is a parable for adults and thoughtful readers of all ages. It’s an invitation to rediscover and choose love as humanity’s most transformative force.
The story and reflection questions invite readers to consider how our individual choices—between hate and love, judgment and curiosity, domination and partnership—ripple outward and affect one another, our organizations, and the world.
Blending timeless wisdom and modern insight from a Cherokee legend, Jesus, Eastern philosophy, Viktor Frankl, and Etty Hillesum, The Green Heart: Our Path to Peace becomes a mirror for our human journey toward inner and outer peace.
The Green Heart: Our Path to Peace is more than a story. It's a narrative catalyst for reflection and conversation with anyone seeking peace, meaningful connection, and improved relationships. It helps us human better—together—through love, curiosity, and compassion.
