Agonizing Peace: Powering Through Traumatic Experiences
Book Summary:
If you’re not sure where God is during the tough times, or whether He even cares, you’re not alone. Are you lacking peace in your life while you walk through a traumatic experience? You’re not alone. Discover the path to regain and retain real peace with God, with others, and with yourself amid tragedy. Powering through difficult times is tough, but not impossible. If we knew everything about God, he wouldn’t be much of a god, but we know enough about him to trust him, to know that he loves us, to reduce our anxieties, and regain our peace.

Praise For Agonizing Peace
This book provides excellent insight into real-world challenges and real-time answers in the midst of our traumatic experiences. A must read!
─ John Rutherford, US Congressman
Heymann masterfully weaves together old wisdom and today’s reality using his own experiences. He draws out the tension in the daily application of the word peace, and confronts the misconceptions of
“peace” we all seem to drift toward. This is life-giving and reassuring that pain and joy are connected. I am hoping that many leaders read the Heymann’s framing of “peace” so that when the difficult times come, they have a deep foundation of wisdom to persevere.

a joy reading ‘Agonizing Peace.’
