In her quest to experience a greater sense of peace, bestselling author Ann Spangler explores the Bible's concept of shalom, helping readers bridge the gap between the peace God promises and what they experience in everyday life. If God has promised to give us the "peace that passes understanding," why do we sometimes feel so anxious? What are we so afraid of? Are there ways of living that lead to peace? Conversely, are there ways of thinking and acting that lead to anxiety and a conflicted life? Finding the Peace God Promises sets our longings for peace beside God's promise to provide it. Exploring the stories that shape us, the memories that define us, and the relationships that connect us, bestselling author Ann Spangler looks for ways to help readers become more peaceful. With exercises that are easy to replicate and principles that are simple to understand, this book is for anyone feeling burdened by the challenges of life. As they learn about rest and healing from Scripture, Jewish tradition, the Amish, and many others, readers will discover what shalom really means. And they may be surprised by their ability to experience transformative peace, no matter their circumstances.
