The Long Victory

Is there an answer to the troubles in Northern Ireland? As a serving member of the RUC for more than 30 years, with much of that time spent in the front-line fight against terrorism, Ben Forde is aware of the enormous challenge which confronts the security forces and the community in seeking to bring an end to the killing. And yet, despite the bloodshed and the grief which he has witnessed with increasing frequency, he believes the individual can overcome the effects of terrorism through a personal and powerful faith in Jesus Christ. In these pages he demonstrates this from his own experience and the experience of others, asserting that, while the defeat of terrorism may be a long way off, the victory of personal peace can be a reality today for all who seek it.
