Searching for and Maintaining Peace

A Small Treatise on Peace of Heart

De: Jacques Philippe

Narrado por: Robin Coppock

We live in an age characterized by agitation and lack of peace. This tendency manifests itself in our spiritual as well as our secular life. In our search for God and holiness, and in our service to our neighbor, a kind of restlessness and anxiety take the place of the confidence and peace which ought to be ours. What must we do to overcome the moments of fear and distress which assail us? How can we learn to place all our confidence in God and abandon ourselves into his loving care?

This is what is taught in this simple, yet profound little treatise on peace of head. Taking concrete examples from our everyday life, the author invites us to respond in a gospel fashion to the upsetting situations we must all confront. Since peace of heart is a pure gift of God, it is something we should seek, pursue, and ask him for without cease. This book is here to help us in that pursuit.

Practical and profound guide to this indispensable attribute

There are many good spiritual books for the Christian to read, but this small volume richly annotated with a pertinent Scripture citations is giving me a map and compass to keeping inner peace. I desperately want to remain at peace in this chaotic world, but I lacked clarity as to why. Now I have it.

Great reminder to keep your peace even when suffering

Enjoyed this book because it was a reminder of all the things I already know, but sometimes fail to heed. It was beautifully written. I will probably listen again.

Excellent material, poor reading

The spiritual insights in this book are wonderful. Unfortunately, the narration is incredibly distracting - too much of a dramatic sermon and not enough of just reading.

Great small book with a lot to think about to grow in holiness through peace.

Love the material but at times I felt the book was being preached? instead of read.

Just what I needed to hear!

Always love the wisdom of Fr. Jacques! I’ve read several of his books and find myself returning to them again and again. This one will be no exception!!
