"Even Jesus struggled when he was Gethsemane and peace eluded him. But in that painfully horrific space of time, he eventually experienced calm. And though his circumstances did not change, and the cup he asked to be removed still awaited him, peace descended upon the Savior, and he faced his appointed mission with calm, grace, and courage." Ken Gire
As a follower of Christ, we are always in need of reminders and guidance from other followers. Ken Gire does both through his book, At Peace in the Storm.
Ken shares, reminds and guides you through life's storms towards God's peace from beginning to end of this book. Ken does so through Biblical stories and scripture as well as his own personal life.
Ken Gire comes along side you no matter what your storm is and guides you towards finding peace through perspective, scripture, personal stories, rest, creation and recreation to name a few. As you read you will be reminded of God's love for you and His gift of peace. You will be reminded that Christ is with you and He is bigger than your storm. Your thoughts will shift from the size of your struggle or storm to the size of your God, which is something we all need to be reminded of at times.
Ken's humility is threaded throughout his book with stories from his own personal storms creating a connection with his readers. I would recommend this book to anyone who is walking through a storm and is struggling to see the light and find God's peace. I would also recommend this book to anyone who knows anyone who is in the midst of their storm, being beaten by the waves and too busy tossing water out to stay afloat to look up and see Christ.
Ken's style of writing is easy to follow and understand. Ken's compassion is comforting and his words are a steady reminder of God's love and grace for His children.
It was such a blessing to read and review this book and I know God will use this book for His glory and His good to bring peace to many in their storms.
