Inverness – Sept 28th 2008 –
Scottish peace activist and Evangelical Christian, David Holdsworth, astounded many
fellow Christians by compiling his first book in opposition to the doctrine of war.
It was published with Lulu.com.

Mr. Holdsworth seized the opportunity to use his idle time while resting from his
work as a Carer in the Inverness L’arche community, researching and compiling his
90-page book “The Forgotten” on the community computer.

Shane Claiborne, author of “Irresistible Revolution” on seeing the original project
idea commented, "A thundering harmony of peace. This is a beautiful contribution to
one of
the most important conversations in the world. May we join the marching of
the guerilla peacemakers who dance to the drums of peace amid all the noise
of war."

Christopher B Holdworth, a preacher and theologian also comments, “David's passion
for his subject is quite clearly seen in the choice of text for this compilation.
Even those who do not share his pacifistic view of Christianity are left in no doubt
as to the author's intent. In his introduction he mentions that many of the articles
which he is reproducing often seem to have been forgotten. Hence the title, The
Forgotten….David is a man of his convictions. Whether we come to the same
conclusions, the question/argument will not go away.”

The book was some time in the making, with various ideas and editions being tested.
The very first idea was far too long. The wealth of information on Christianity and
peace that Mr David Holdsworth uncovered was overwhelming. But, by careful selection
and use of free time the final manuscript became ready in 2008.
Mr. Holdsworth says: “Only a few years ago I would have struggled to find both the
time and the publisher to enable me to create this book. Thanks to God and the other
peacemakers out there I am now happy to be a published author.”

Although the book is titled “The Forgotten,” it is hoped that the content and people
featured in the collection of peace writings will indeed finally be remembered!
