"What do you want from me?" The tone of this question that I passionately asked the Lord during this season comes from a place of broken humility and sincere desire. I was in the middle of a mental battle that was full of anxiety and chaos. I was crying out to God in sincere prayer in the midst of my pain. There was no fancy theology attached to my petition. Only sincere cries to be delivered from this pain. Have you been in a difficult season like I was? Do you ever dream of having more peace in your life? Do you consistently relate to words like anxiety, fear, stress, mental unrest, disorder, or hostility? If so, this book is for you. In this book I take a practical and theological approach to the topic of peace, through the lens of abiding in Christ. My heart for this book is: ?To help you see what it means to have an intimate abiding relationship with Jesus Christ. ?That through this relationship you will gain practical Biblical understanding of how to abide in His peace.?To help you learn to identify sources that detract from your peace along with practical tools to deal with them. ?To show you how to win the mental battle that rages in many of our minds. At the end of each chapter is an application-focused workbook section that will help you take what you are learning and incorporate it into your daily discipleship journey, share in a small group, or teach others. Whether you struggle with mental illness, have anxiety and fear, know someone struggling to find peace, or simply want to explore this topic through a biblical lens, this book is for you. Abiding in Peace will encourage you on your journey and help you find healing and abundant life.

In the Gospel of John Jesus directs us, Abide in me, as I abide in you. This book is an invitation to make the Word of God your home through the practice of lectio divina .Macrina Wiederkehr, OSB, encourages you to turn the words of Scripture over in your heart as a plough turns over the soil to welcome the seed. In these scriptural meditations, the piercing reflective questions and personal prayers lead the reader into a deeper relationship with the Divine. Aware that drawing near the Word of God requires a special kind of presence, the author invites you to breathe in the Word, wait before the Word, walk through the pages of Scripture as a pilgrim, and, finally, abide in an intimate and transforming communion with God. The format of the book lends itself not only to daily personal prayer and reflection, but to group faith sharing as well. Macrina Wiederkehr, OSB, (1939-2020), author of the popular A Tree Full of Angels (HarperCollins) and Seven Sacred Pauses (Ave Maria), was well known for her creative spiritual writings and retreat ministry. She was also a regular columnist for Stepping Stones, the Little Rock Scripture Study newsletter. She lived a monastic life for fifty years and made her home with the Sisters of St. Scholastica, a Benedictine monastery in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Writing and retreat ministry were a part of her evolving call. Visit her personal blog at http://macrina-underthesycamoretree.blogspot.com/.

Helps develop the pastoral skills needed for hearing confessions. Although the sacramental Rite of Reconciliation is included in many Anglican prayer books, nothing has been written expressly Anglicans since the 1980s that focuses on the pastoral skills required for this ministry. This book combines and passes on the teaching, coaching, skill development, and accumulated pastoral wisdom that has not been widely accessible or well integrated into clergy training. Realistic transcripts and "verbatims" of sample confessions and counseling sessions involving a wide range of people makes this a unique ministry resource for most seminaries and theological colleges, plus clergy in general-including Lutheran pastors who use the rite of "Individual Confession and Absolution" in the Lutheran Book of Worship.
