Reverend Graham shares God's gentle, reassuring promise of spiritual calm - of authentic personal peace - amid a personal life wracked with too much stress, too many burdens, too great a heartache. "I know men who would write a check for a million dollars if they could find peace," writes Reverend Graham. "Millions are searching for it. But we Christians have found it! It is ours now and forever. We have found the secret of life! When your spouse dies or your children get sick or you lose your job, you can have a peace that you don't understand. You may have tears at a graveside, but you can have an abiding peace, a quietness. "God's peace can be in your heart - right now. Whatever the circumstances, whatever the call, whatever the duty, whatever the price, whatever the sacrifice - his strength will be your strength in your hour of need. "It's all yours, and it's free. You don't have to work for it. Do not put it off." ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Tommy Cresswell. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/tnwd/000689/bk_tnwd_000689_sample.mp3.

Dancing in the Glory of Monsters
At the heart of Africa is Congo, a country the size of Western Europe, bordering nine other nations, that since 1996 has been wracked by a brutal and unstaunchable war in which millions have died. And yet, despite its epic proportions, it has received little sustained media attention. In this deeply reported book, Jason Stearns vividly tells the story of this misunderstood conflict through the experiences of those who engineered and perpetrated it. He depicts village pastors who survived massacres, the child soldier assassin of President Kabila, a female Hutu activist who relives the hunting and methodical extermination of fellow refugees, and key architects of the war that became as great a disaster as--and was a direct consequence of--the genocide in neighboring Rwanda. Through their stories, he tries to understand why such mass violence made sense, and why stability has been so elusive. Through their voices, and an astonishing wealth of knowledge and research, Stearns chronicles the political, social, and moral decay of the Congolese State.- Shop: buecher
