Publisher's summary

We live in an age characterized by agitation and lack of peace. This tendency manifests itself in our spiritual as well as our secular life. In our search for God and holiness, and in our service to our neighbor, a kind of restlessness and anxiety take the place of the confidence and peace which ought to be ours. What must we do to overcome the moments of fear and distress which assail us? How can we learn to place all our confidence in God and abandon ourselves into his loving care?

This is what is taught in this simple, yet profound little treatise on peace of head. Taking concrete examples from our everyday life, the author invites us to respond in a gospel fashion to the upsetting situations we must all confront. Since peace of heart is a pure gift of God, it is something we should seek, pursue, and ask him for without cease. This book is here to help us in that pursuit.

Life Changing

J Philippe has a unique combination of wisdom and humility lacking in most people who aren't doctors of the Church. I want ALL of his books! And the narrator's performance is exceptional! I will definitely look for other books with Mr Coppock's narration.

Practical and profound guide to this indispensable attribute

There are many good spiritual books for the Christian to read, but this small volume richly annotated with a pertinent Scripture citations is giving me a map and compass to keeping inner peace. I desperately want to remain at peace in this chaotic world, but I lacked clarity as to why. Now I have it.

Excellent material, poor reading

The spiritual insights in this book are wonderful. Unfortunately, the narration is incredibly distracting - too much of a dramatic sermon and not enough of just reading.

Life changing! Much needed content

Much needed content in these times when depression and thinking overly of one’s concerns are the norm.

Narrator really takes away from thjs great book

Have read this book many years ago and was excited to have in on audible. However, the narrator is dramatic and distracting to listen to. He really doesn’t do the book justice. Regret this purchase, but the actual book is wonderful!

Excellent

I especially like his use of St Padre Pio & Dom Lorenzo Scipoli. This book is very beneficial to my spiritual life & to the assistance I give to others.

Beautiful content, overly dramatic reading

I read this book (print version) several years ago and loved it. My Lay Dominican chapter chose this for discussion, but I couldn't find my paperback. I was happy to see it among Audible's selections. However, the narrator was often far too emotional and dramatic. It was distracting at times. Fortunately, the spiritual content is so good that I listened to the end.

If possible, I advise reading on Kindle or in print.
