Synopsis:
When troubles and worries threaten to drive God's peace from your heart, these pages will restore that peace and place it on a firm and lasting foundation. Fr. Gerald Vann, author of this compassionate and beautiful book, knows that it's easy to let little things disturb your peace: fears and ambitions, passing worries, a small slight, aches and pains in the body, vanities of soul. So he shows you how God abides even in your troubles. Once you learn how to look for Him there, you'll find Him. Passionately, movingly, and concisely, Fr. Vann shows you how. Here you'll learn simple secrets that will help you accept God's will in all things - without becoming fatalistic, passive, or complacent. You'll find the one fact that can anchor your soul's peace. You'll even discover how your ordinary actions and gestures can help you glimpse the infinite within your everyday life. In a word, Fr. Vann will help you to confront and to overcome the everyday dangers that you're inevitably going to encounter on the rocky road to God. So if everything around you seems to be going wrong, if you just can't find the love of God amid the pain and wreckage of your life, Taming the Restless Heart will show you that at this moment and always, God is cradling you in His loving hands.
