Peace of God Bible (Review and Giveaway)

You were made for peace—and to be a peacemaker. The story of the Bible is the story of peace. Reading through it from cover to cover you see how ultimately we can have peace with God and with one another. The Peace of God Bible points us to the verses that show us how to do just that. How important is it to understand that peace isn’t simply a feeling of calm or ease?

Maybe this is why some leave the faith, or struggle with their relationship with the Lord.

When we are looking for a feeling because we once felt what we interpreted as the peace of God, undoubtedly we are going to want to find it again. The problem with that is, it is easy to turn to New Age methods labeled with a "Christian" sticker. Yet that is not true peace. Feeling centered, or in control of our life is not true peace.

True peace is knowing and understanding that God through His Word, even if our emotions do not line up.

The Peace of God Bible invites you to experience peace with God as you trace this important theme throughout Scripture. Focus on it daily as you read 365 devotions and application notes. Here you will find the encouragement you need to live out of the wholeness you have in Christ—and be equipped to share that peace with others.

Wholehearted, biblical peace is a way of experiencing life as we were always meant to—in relationship with our Creator and with each other. We can recover a completeness that was once lost but is restored in the gospel. We can try through the world's methods; endless YouTube self-help videos, self-betterment retreats, and the like, but true peace comes with aligning with God's plans and purposes, regardless of how messy or complicated.

The Pencil Grip Inc. {Review}

We have found what we have been looking for in The Pencil Grip Inc .'s 24 pack of Magic Stix Washable Markers . These markers are the perfect fit for a homeschooling family such as ours. I am thrilled to tell you about our experience with them! Normally, I do not have a favorable impression of markers for several reasons. For one, as a kid, I remember markers having such a strong smell that it would give me a headache. I know some kids enjoyed the scents but it certainly was not for me. And to be honest, if I had markers like that in my house today, my kids would probably stick them up their nose or something. Another reason I have a distaste for markers is the drying out factor. As a parent of many children this is super frustrating. I finally teach the older ones to put the caps back on when they are done using their markers but then a younger one comes along and just doesn't understand. This then leads to the undue frustration of your child sitting down to...
