About this title

From the Back Cover:

IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE PEACE IN A WORLD FULL OF CHAOS? Our lives are too busy, too occupied, and too hurried. Chaos presses us from all directions. And it’s not just external influences such as explosive technology, the threat of terrorism, and packed schedules. Chaos also fills our hearts and minds as we wrestle with dissatisfaction, emptiness, failure, competition, worry, and anger. We tire of the unpredictability and disorder. We long for tranquility and quietness. But life goes on with little change. To escape chaos is like arguing with the wind or the ocean. It’s inescapable. It’s also ripe with opportunity. Making Peace with Reality shows how times of chaos and overwhelming pressure push us to confront the big questions of life: Are we living with meaning and purpose? Are we using our time well? Is it possible to live a life without regret? Jerry White offers insights from his own years of living in life’s trenches and making peace with his reality. With a look at the past, he reveals how we got to today’s chaos and offers hope for a peaceful tomorrow. Offering practical suggestions for focusing on the meaning and purpose God has for each of us, Making Peace with Reality presents welcome solutions to surviving the chaotic storm swirling around us and inside us.
