My Peace I Leave You: Christ’s Comfort For Our Troubles

Description

Everyone sees and experiences troubles: loneliness, guilt, fear, doubt; the list is endless. My Peace I Leave You proclaims that however great the trouble, there is a greater treasure: Christ! He is our hope and comfort, our joy and peace in every circumstance.

Written for adults, My Peace I Leave You openly and unabashedly acknowledges the troubles people face and points to their source in the sin-brokenness of the world and our own sin. Each chapter begins by illustrating a particular trouble in a way familiar to the contemporary age and then shows how the same trouble is faced in the Bible. David was guilty of adultery and murder. Peter was guilty of doubt and lack of faith. The Word of God assures real people today, just like these real people in history, that they receive the gifts of mercy, grace, and forgiveness in Jesus. Whatever trouble is occurring, we have the treasure by faith in our Savior.

With warmth and compassion, the author addresses topics such as doubt, price, worry, relationships, greed, despair, anger, hypocrisy, envy, aging, and pornography, and he encourages readers to know that Jesus offers full and free forgiveness.
