The Peacegiver

How Christ Offers to Heal Our Hears and Homes

By: James L. Ferrell

Narrated by: James L. Ferrell

What does the atonement mean, practically speaking? How is Christ the answer to a strained relationship with a spouse, child, parent, or sibling? What if I am being mistreated—how can the atonement help me cope with that? How can I discover the desire to repent when I don't feel the need to repent? And how can I invite others to do the same? These are the challenging, difficult questions of daily life, questions to which the gospel must provide answers if it is to have living, cleansing, redeeming power.

The Peacegiver is a book about the answers to these questions. Unlike other books about the atonement, The Peacegiver is written as an extended parable. It tells the story of a man struggling, with the help of a loved one, to come unto Christ. In listening to the rich details of his often difficult journey, we find ourselves embarked on a personal journey of our own. His questions are our questions; his problems, our problems; his discoveries, our discoveries.

Along the way, the truths of the gospel are unfolded with surprising clarity and power, illuminating aspects of the atonement that few of us have ever heard or considered before. These surprising implications show us the way to deep and lasting peace in our hearts and homes.

"My peace I give unto you," the Savior declared.

Just what I needed to hear!

This story was an answer to my prayer. I have struggled with letting go of an offense that I thought I had forgiven. The bitter conversations I continued to let play in my head revealed a problem in my heart. This story revealed the secret to letting it go. Jesus stood in my place- and in the place of the person who had offended me. A very quick read! I highly recommend it.

Beautifully insightful

The other has a unique way of bringing scriptures to life. Not only bring them to life, but to help bring out meaning an application from scriptures and stories that you might have read numerous times throughout your life.

If there are relationships you may be struggling with, or you are simply looking for ways to improve the quality of your relationships then I highly encourage reading this book.

Wonderful! I love this application of the Atonement

This application of the atonement is done so well and will resonate with anyone who is married.

Insightful story of the savior’s love

Very inspiring insight on the Savior’s love and how we can accept it more completely

One reading is not enough!

This book applies to all of us and the ability it has to guide us to look within ourselves and combat our own challenges and offer love to those in our lives is priceless!
