**It May Not Be a Coincidence That This Book Has Crossed Your Path...** In *Peace with God *Dr. Billy Graham asks God to help this book ÔÇ£find its way into┬áthe hands and hearts of a lost, confused, and searching world . . . men, women, and┬áyoung people everywhere [who] thirst for peace with God.ÔÇØ In spite of a life drenched with responsibilities and rewards, are you thirsting?┬áSearching for some nameless thing that is more important than anything in life?┬áYou are not alone. All mankind is seeking the answer to the confusion, the moral┬ásickness, the spiritual emptiness that oppresses the world. All humanity is crying┬áout for guidance, for comfort . . .for peace. Dr. Graham shares GodÔÇÖs gentle, reassuring promise of spiritual calmÔÇöof authentic┬ápersonal peaceÔÇöamidst a personal life wracked with too much stress, too many┬áburdens, too great a heartache. ÔÇ£I know men who would write a check for a million dollars if they could find peace,ÔÇØ┬áwrites Dr. Graham. ÔÇ£Millions are searching for it. But we Christians have found it!┬áIt is ours now and forever. We have found the secret of life! . . .When your spouse┬ádies or your children get sick or you lose your job, you can have a peace that you┬ádonÔÇÖt understand. You may have tears at a graveside, but you can have an abiding┬ápeace, a quietness. ÔÇ£GodÔÇÖs peace can be in your heartÔÇöright now . . .Whatever the circumstances,┬áwhatever the call, whatever the duty, whatever the price, whatever the sacrificeÔÇöHis strength will be your strength in your hour of need.┬áÔÇ£ItÔÇÖs all yours, and itÔÇÖs free. You donÔÇÖt have to work for it . . . . Do not put it off.ÔÇØ ### Amazon.com Review Billy Graham wrote *Peace with God: The Secret of Happiness* in 1953, a time that is often remembered today for its innocence and simplicity. Yet Graham's book, which is essentially an explanation of Christian grace, reminds readers that the stress and anxiety we face today are abiding aspects of the human condition, as challenging in the 21st century as they were in the Eisenhower era. "You are not alone," Graham writes. "All mankind is traveling with you, for all mankind is on [the] same quest. All humanity is seeking the answer to the confusion, the moral sickness, the spiritual emptiness that oppresses the world. All mankind is crying out for guidance, for comfort, for peace." Graham answers those cries with a comprehensive story of humanity's sin and redemption in the person of Christ. Like a traditional sermon, *Peace with God* includes three sections that are intended to change the reader's heart: "Assessing the Situation" (of fallen humanity); "Advancing the Solution" (to the problems of sin); and "Applying the Antidote" (of Christian belief and spiritual power). By the end of the book, Graham offers "Peace at Last." His exhortation to believe is powerful and decisive: "It's all yours, and it's free. You don't have to work for it," he explains. At Graham's conclusion, the reader may come to understand that peace and freedom, as much as stress and anxiety, are abiding aspects of the human condition, and really can be found. *--Kevin Attwood* |
