The Missing Peace: How to Be Held Together When You’re Falling Apart

In The Missing Peace, podcaster and thought leader Tim Ross introduces a stunning perspective on the peace Jesus left us to help us regulate our bodies and emotions as we break free of temporary happiness and walk toward freedom.

Are you okay? Have you tried everything you can think of to get to a place where you feel better, happier? Maybe you've reached for temporary fixes like retail therapy, or playing video games, or finding a spouse or a house in the right zip code, or even prayer and listening to worship music. But nothing seems to work, at least not long term. You don't know what's wrong, but you know you're not okay. You feel exhausted, overloaded, and frustrated. Is this just how life is?

Tim Ross, host of the popular podcast The Basement, offers hope and an eye-opening perspective on the peace Jesus left us and how it can help us regulate our bodies and our emotions, regardless of what is happening around us. Ross's stirring message reminds readers that

• silence isn't golden--giving voice to the soul opens the way to recovery, • secrets keep us trapped--we can't heal what we don't reveal, • romanticizing pain holds us back--facing it head-on moves us toward healing, and • Jesus saved us not to survive but to thrive--we don't need to settle for just getting by.

With a depth of pastoral experience and a winsomeness that resonates, Ross helps readers break free from silent suffering and the insatiable search for happiness by learning how to be truly okay in life's challenges and walk toward the peace and the freedom God created them to enjoy.
