Synopsis

From the influential and ever-growing movement "I Am Second" comes a remarkable collection of well-known lives transformed from restless to happy by the power of God.When I Am Second launched in 2008, the organization meant simply to tell stories of people whose lives changed utterly when they placed God first and themselves second. Although the organization has exploded in size and influence since, that original mission has remained the same--and continues to have enormous power today. I Choose Peace is the highly anticipated new audiobook from I Am Second, gathering together stories of people who searched everywhere for fulfillment and wholeness and found it only when they surrendered to God. People whose stories appear include the following:Chip and Joanna GainesKathie Lee GiffordAlbert PujolsShawn JohnsonPhil and Kay RobertsonBrian "Head" WelchMoving, compelling, and profoundly inspiring, the stories found here remind us that our hearts will always be restless until they find their rest in God.

I have really enjoyed the I am Second campaign. Peace is a very moving book. Stories of the ugly and the beautiful, and how in the hands of Jesus, a un-understandable calm and trust can invade your life. Each story has a different backstory, as well as a Jesus rescuing moment. For some life turned b......more
