Product Description

•••••

Is it possible to find peace amid one of the busiest and most stressful periods of the year? Gary Zimak, a self-described "recovering worrier" and Catholic author, provides a practical, scripture-based approach to Advent so that we might create place for Jesus in our hectic, busy, and fast-paced lives.

Although most Catholics know about Lenten customs, we often find ourselves unsure of what to do during Advent—even if we know both seasons are periods of preparation. In addition, the Christmas season comes with its own challenging rhythms involving family and friends. Although many of us know Advent is meant to be a unique season, we are so focused on getting ready for the Christmas holidays that we may miss out on it.

Find Peace in Advent! will help you to strengthen your connection with Jesus and provide calm during one of the most demanding periods of the year. Using a similar strategy to the best-selling Give Up Worry for Lent!, this book calls for only a few minutes of reading every day to help you become closer to Jesus and feel the calm only he can provide. The daily readings and reflections fit the rhythm of the Advent season and the daily Mass texts. Zimak leads you to consider fundamental truths of faith and apply them to your own life using four basic processes with every entry:

Read
Reflect
Respond
Pray

As you continue to meditate on scripture and practice the simple action steps at the end of each reflection, you will find it easier to let go of your stress and worries and instead take small steps to deepen your relationship with God and make him the center of your life.

There is no better time to seek interior peace than Advent, which is a time to prepare to celebrate the many ways Jesus reaches into our lives. This four-week process is more than a survival guide to a busy season—it is a journey by which we learn to walk with Jesus, the one who guides our feet onto the path of peace.
