Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. - John 14:27 Finding peace in the midst of all of the chaos may seem impossible, but nothing is impossible with God! God can do what we cannot. He can give peace in spite of outward circumstances. Peace is the personal experience of knowing that all is well with your soul – no matter what. As you read the Bible, you will discover that you have every reason to be at peace and no reason at all to be anxious! A Year of Peace is a daily guide through God’s Word that will provide encouragement and biblical instruction. It is more than a devotional, but is not as complicated as a Bible study. It is daily inspiration to help you receive the Lord’s peace. About the Author Jason Pettus has served as the senior pastor at Living Hope since July 2001. His passion is to see people connect in an authentic relationship with God by grace through faith in Christ alone. He has a bachelor’s degree in religion and biblical languages from Belmont University, a masters of divinity degree from David Lipscomb University, and a doctorate from Reformed Theological Seminary. He and his wife, Carrie, who led him to Christ when they were in high school, were married in 1994 and have three children.

A Daily Devotional

Year of Peace

Kevin Haworth

What exactly does it mean to be young, Jewish and creative in 21st-century America? How do you reconcile a quiet life in the Midwest with a parallel life in Israel? And how do you fit in a five-year-old son with an interest in frilly dresses? Ohio professor and celebrated cultural essayist Kevin Haworth answers these questions and more in this, his debut full-length essay collection; and the answers are part Sloane Crosley, part Philip Roth, with a dash of Malcolm Gladwell's intelligence and a pinch of Denis Johnson's poetic style. Already the winner of a pre-publication grant from the Ohio Arts Council, from a former winner of the Samuel Goldberg Prize for Jewish fiction, this will be right up the alley of those who enjoy "The Believer" and "This American Life," a charming but darkly tinged look at circumcision, terrorist bombers, the Catskills in the '70s, and all the other confusing things that make up the life of post-9/11 Jewish American parents and artists.
