THE PACE OF PEACE Format: HC - HARDCOVER

"No one practice (or book) will solve our generational battle against distraction. . . . But this book offers me hope that we can join Jay, and Ignatius, and so many others from the Way of Jesus, in slowing down from the helter-skelter speed of the modern world, and walking at the pace of peace." — from the foreword by John Mark Comer, founder of Practicing the Way

Receive the Gifts of an Examined Life with God

"So much to do, so little time," so the saying goes. For many today, our attention is stretched thin by overextended schedules, unmanageable calendars, and an impossible to-do list.

But what if the more we try to do everything, the less we are doing anything truly meaningful?

In The Pace of Peace, pastor Jay Y. Kim invites you to fight distraction and focus your attention by examining your life with God. Drawing on the Prayer of Examen developed by Ignatius of Loyola as a framework for all of life, Kim guides us through the movements of this ancient prayer practice—invitation, gratitude, reflection, confession, and looking forward—to point us toward the antidotes for the aches of our distracted age.

In The Pace of Peace, you are invited to move:

• from the toil of absence to the gift of presence
• from the striving for more to the gift of gratitude
• from the wreckage of reactivity to the gift of reflection
• from the shackles of pride and shame to the gift of confession
• from the futility of self-will to the gift of God's will

A deep life is incongruent with a fast life. God invites you, instead, to live with your mind at ease, setting your life to the pace of peace. Free to be fully present. No longer straining to prove yourself. Settled and secure in the presence of God.

Encounter God in all of life and discover the peace and ease of being present, known, and fully loved with The Pace of Peace.
