"""Dr. Raymond Aina and I met in Europe researching restorative justice. . . . Dr. Aina's theological perspective to restorative justice shows that restorative justice is a 'biblical-religious justice.' His book Overcoming Toxic Emotions demonstrates how catharsis and active listening to victims' and offenders' voices potentially brings healing and reconciliation in a conflict situation. It is a must-read for peace builders, mediators, theologians, and restorative-justice practitioners."" --Don John O. Omale, Founder, African Forum for Restorative Justice ""Aina's excellent book is a must for those interested in theological accounts of restorative justice, reconciliation, and peace building. In critical dialogue with the work of the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Aina develops a deeply christological vision of restorative justice and of the church's prophetic role in liberating people from the toxic emotions that cause intergenerational cycles of injustice, hatred, and violence."" --David G. Kirchhoffer, Director, Queensland Bioethics Centre, Australian Catholic University"
