Our review

A French priest wrote this short book about peace in your heart. He says worry pulls us away from God. He shows how to trust God and stay calm, even when life is hard. It treats the Christian life as a combat and shows how lost peace can be found again. Goodreads readers rate it 4.73.

For parents

Age 14+, set by Lumen's independent reading age. A parent can read short sections aloud to a worried twelve-year-old. There is no objectionable content. Read a few pages at a time. Ask: what steals your peace? What would it look like to hand that to God today?
