Stories

In these times, we need peaceful relationships more than ever. Tragically, far too many of the world’s youth are exposed to countless forms of violence and have few models of alternatives to help them pattern their lives. The Chechen version of Power of Goodness is the Friends International Library Committee’s contribution to make these alternatives a reality.

We are pleased to show stories from the book online. Select the title below that you would like to read.
