When life gets busy, and on days when I'm falling behind on my to-do list, there are two types of activities that I'm likely to cut: exercise and prayer. Why is it that my first reaction is to cancel those activities that have the biggest impact on my life? If I neglect my physical or spiritual fitness long enough, I'm going to pay a price.
The hardest thing about prayer is knowing where to start. There's no wrong way to pray, and thousands of right ways. Devotions to saints, memorized prayer, open conversation, reading the Bible, the list goes on and on. It's easy to get blocked just trying to make a decision about where to start.
Grant Us Peace is that easy first step.
I've done all of the work and planning for you. Simply pick up the book and pray. Five minutes a day for 21 days is all that it takes. After three solid weeks of daily prayer, you'll be on track, in the groove, and ready to continue building a rich spiritual life.
Here's how Grant Us Peace can help you:

21 days of reflections and practical action steps. You'll start feeling progress right from the start.
