When Ted Kuntz's son, Joshua, was five months old, the child began convulsing. The convulsions were due to the toxic effect of a childhood vaccine. After repeated convulsions, Joshua was admitted to hospital where he was treated with numerous medications. However, the severe seizures continued for years, rendering Joshua disabled. Kuntz, a Vancouver-psychotherapist, spent the first five years of his son's life in "a state of war".

"I was angry at the world. I lashed out at others. I was miserable. I ached for peace, but the possibility felt far, far away. I believed I could experience peace and joy only if my son's condition improved."

Then one day in an epiphany, Kuntz realized he had to accept his son as he was, disability and all. He learned there were gifts to be received and lessons to be learned in this turn of events. "Gradually my firmly entrenched beliefs and attitudes began to shift. I discovered a new way to see my son's condition and myself. This change finally allowed me to experience peace and joy again."

Peace Begins With Me is a summary of the wisdom Ted acquired on his journey of making peace with his son's disabilities and the changes disability created in his life and the life of his family. At the core of his message are simple yet powerful strategies that enable us to experience peace and joy as we create lives more of our choosing. This deeply personal story is an inspiration to anyone who wants to move past pain and anger and return to a life of peace and joy.

Those of us who seek peace in our lives and yearn for more peace in our world need look no further than this candid exploration of one man's personal journey to discover the source of his own peace. Ted is gifted with insight. His struggle to integrate words and deeds will be familiar to most of us. His writing shimmers with elegance and authenticity. It is bound to inspire. I am grateful for the treasure of Ted's teaching. Peace Begins With Me is a wise friend to accompany one's own search.
