I've often heard Joyce on the radio, yet I always chose Joel's books over hers. However, I consider myself extremely lucky to have discovered this particular book in my basement, which was left behind by a relative.


This book is filled with numerous nuggets of truth. It emphasizes that God knows far more than we do, and we must trust Him beyond what our eyes can see and our minds can comprehend. Without this trust in God, true peace eludes us.


The outer storms of life hold no real sway over us unless we allow them to rage within. We cannot simultaneously be pitiful and powerful.


It is also said that death and life are in the power of the tongue. Our words have the ability to either encourage or discourage us. We can either decrease or even eliminate our peace, or we can increase it. Therefore, it is crucial to be accountable for our words as they are indeed powerful.


When fear knocks on our door, we should send faith to answer. Instead of speaking our fears, we should speak our faith and say what God would say in our situation, rather than what we think or feel.


We must believe that God's wisdom dwells within us. By coming close to God, He will draw near to us.


When asking God to forgive our sins, we should follow up by saying, "I receive that forgiveness right now and I let go of all my guilt."


God is aware of everything that occurs behind closed doors, including the doors of our hearts. If our relationships are not in order, our lives will be amiss. Similarly, if our private lives are not right, our public lives will also suffer. Whatever we do in private has a direct impact on our public life and ministries.


Only a fool hates correction. If we correct a wise man, he becomes wiser. However, if we correct a fool, he gets angry and refuses to even consider receiving it.


We should say what we want, not what we have. I have only one pace, and it is called peaceful.


Most extremely busy people do not take the time to truly know themselves, let alone others. We should stop being perpetually uneasy, anxious, and worried about our lives.


We must pull the roots of stress out of our lives. No matter what our past has been, we have a spotless future.


If I can gain even a small understanding of the way you see the world, then this conversation will be highly beneficial.


We must all learn to let God's spirit, and not the desires of others, lead us. God's plan is always superior to ours.


As the saying goes, "Out of the heart, the mouth speaks." We should pursue peace.

It is a must-have for anyone interested in the field of peacekeeping or those who simply seek to gain a deeper understanding of how to maintain peace in various situations.

She is perhaps one of the sole authors whose books I will reread.

Her works have a certain charm and allure that keeps drawing me back.

Each time I pick up one of her books, it's like embarking on a new adventure.

The characters she creates are vivid and come to life on the pages.

The storylines are engaging and full of twists and turns that keep me on the edge of my seat.

I find myself completely immersed in her fictional worlds, forgetting about the real world around me.

Her writing style is unique and captivating, making it a pleasure to read.

I can't wait to see what new books she will release in the future.

I'm sure they will be just as精彩 as her previous ones.

Great book!

This book is truly amazing and has been of great help to me in learning how to achieve a more peaceful state of mind. It provides valuable insights and practical techniques that can be easily implemented in our daily lives.

The only drawback, if I may say so, is that I find myself constantly longing for a copy of it to be pasted right on my forehead so that I can read it every single day without fail. You see, I often struggle with actually finding that inner peace that is described so beautifully in the book. It's not that I don't understand the concepts, but rather putting them into practice on a consistent basis can be quite challenging. HA!

Nevertheless, I still highly recommend this book to anyone who is seeking to find more peace and tranquility in their lives. It's definitely worth the read and I'm sure it will have a positive impact on you as well.
