When we think about following Jesus, we tend to think in terms of what we should be doing, habits we should be developing, heart issues we need to deal with. But what if when Jesus said "Follow Me" He was talking first of all about learning to love Him and developing a friendship with Him? What if He is longing more for our hearts than our actions?

The purest love flows out of the most intimate relationships, and that's what many of the people found whose stories you will read in this book. That's what the Apostle Paul was thinking about when he prayed that we might "experience the love of Christ" (Ephesians 3:19).

If you have been longing for a deeper friendship with Jesus, you will be encouraged as you meet some of the people who knew Jesus best, and found in Him their heart's dearest treasure.

The Japanese have an ancient tradition called kintsugi. Instead of discarding a beautiful bowl that has been broken, they use gold to repair it, creating a vessel that is unique and even more valuable than before. Kintsugi illustrates the truth that nothing is ever truly broken beyond repair. Rather than hiding the brokenness, the gold creates something new and cherished.

Broken and Beautiful tells a tale of clergy sexual abuse and the aftermath of pain and suffering it creates, but the story doesn’t end there. The powerful, healing touch of God’s hand brings beauty from emotional desolation, and joy from the depths of sorrow. Kristal Chalmers has experienced this first-hand, and she and her mother, Eileen Peters, are sharing this story for the first time in the hopes that it will bring healing to others who are walking this journey alone. Broken and Beautiful provides a riveting, passionate, and inspiring account of the wonder and majesty of God’s unfailing grace.

The Bible is the story of God's invitation to "BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD." It is the story of men and women who found that invitation irresistible; whose journey to know God became a lifelong adventure. If you find yourself longing to know God, this book will be a valuable tool. 

Standing In The Stillness invites you to explore the passion of God, enjoy the provision of God, encounter the purposes of God, experience the promise of God, and embrace the presence of God. Eileen Peters has been a pastor's wife, missionary, and Bible teacher. She is a graduate of Providence Theological Seminary with a degree in Biblical Counseling. She and her husband, Lloyd, have two married children and five grandchildren.
