What meaning can be found in the life and death of Tom Fox? In this book, more than two dozen authors grapple with this question, from a wide range of perspectives. Their reflections are paired with passages from Tom's own writings, his blog entries and emails. On November 25, 2005, Tom Fox was kidnaped in Baghdad, Iraq, along with three comrades. All four were members of a Christian Peacemakers Team, working to exhibit a spirit of peace and reconciliation in a land riven by war and terror. His three colleagues were freed by British and U.S. troops on March 23, 2006. But almost two weeks earlier, on March 10, Tom's body was found in a garbage dump in the city; he had been murdered. Tom had written that he was ready to face death in the work of peacemaking, and that this was his call as a Christian. Such a sacrifice, he said, would be worth it. Was it? Listen to Tom, read the responses, and consider the questions for yourself. It could be a matter of life and death.
