Thirty weeks of Devotions on Peace to help you discover encouraging stories and tips from past, present, and future people who faced conflicts, struggles, and relational problems as they found peace or became peacemakers. You'll realize that peace is not an absence of conflict. It's an abiding trust in God combined with your choices and prayers to maintain peace in the midst of struggles and difficulties. Each week contains a prayer, a devotion focused on a biblical person, a devotion of a peacemaker from history, and three contemporary devotions. The end of each devotional offers you a Today's Peace Step challenge and encourages you to find and share peace. Our peace stories reflect everyday experiences, as well as some of the harder moments, people have faced.
The book is divided into three sections inner peace, relational peace, and being a peacemaker.
