The Peacemaker Overcomes the Hatemaker offers a range of gripping essays, poems, and meditations that examine both the deterioration and progress of our collective humanity in the 21st century.

The urgent pieces in the first half of the book exact a lens on America to expose and confront the rampant hate proliferating at every level of society and government across the country. In particular, the book takes an unflinching stance against the danger and negligence of those holding political power who abuse their positions by weaponizing falsehoods and misinformation to dehumanize "others" while at the same time radicalizing malcontents to commit violence masked as justice.

Then the book turns to peacemaking with a number of exploratory pieces honoring the endurance of "Mother Earth" before focusing on contemporary peacemakers working to bridge distances between races and faiths. In two of the volume's most revealing essays, DeBlanck shares his spiritual journey of how his reverence for Islam has been instrumental in expanding his Christian view of God and peace. A trio of beautiful poems near the end of the book honors three of the world's most inspiring peacemakers: Mary, Jesus, and Muhammad.

Whether he is quoting the incomparable Toni Morrison or a verse from the Qur'an, Roger DeBlanck's vision in The Peacemaker Overcomes the Hatemaker examines the forces of history and the choices we make that shape our civic conscience towards one another. With indignation and optimism, the essays, poems, and meditations remind us to reject the misguidance of hate in favor of discovering the kingdom of peace residing in each of our souls.
