Pearson Media Group is a platform that allows an aspiring author to get their work recognized on a global scale. The Media collaborates with authors to provide relevant and comprehensive publications critical to understanding today’s world situation.
 
In collaboration with the author, M. E. Murphy, Pearson published a new book, “Hadar and the Chief of Peace.” With the help of this illustrated book you will experience, what was in its day, a novel solution to an ageless conflict caused by clashing cultures in the 19th century.
 
Follow Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce as he avoids pursuing soldiers and painfully endures the ongoing hardships of his people as they flee for peace while their leader, is confronted, counseled and comforted by a holy man? A vision? A delusion? The Great Spirit?
 
The book was illustrated by Johanna, the author’s (at the time) teenage daughter. “Hadar and the Chief of Peace” is preceded by five short stories: “The Gospels of Hadar.” Stories to inspire youth to continue bending the “the arc of the moral universe.”
 
May we all learn from the ‘novel’ solution of Chief Joseph! Regardless of our holy men, visions, delusions and diverse Gods.

About the Author:
Michael E Murphy is a humanist who is distressed by the overwhelming influence of belief in determining our cultural and political perspectives. These beliefs demand us to suspend our disbelief and critical thinking willingly.
 
Born in 1950, Michael pursued many spiritual teachings only to discover: We need new stories! Stories that show we are not falling but rising. The character, Hadar, is us at our best.

“These stories are to nurture evolving hearts of all ages.” They are good news for the hopeful spirit. They are stories intended to focus us on what truly matters.
