Find Peace in Advent uses bible verses and reflections to help you find the peace you need in the hustle and bustle of life and the Christmas season. The time the church celebrates as Advent can be stressful as it occurs during a time society has made overly busy and stressful. This book focuses on finding peace and light in this busy season. I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to help focus in on the true meaning of Christmas.

I received an advanced copy of this book from Netgalley. Opinions are my own.

I own and have read almost all of Gary Zimak’s books. This was another wonderful one! I love how now there is not just a book for Lent but also one for Advent. Advent has a different focus and feel to it, so it needed its own book especially with all the more secular aspects to this time of year. I also loved how Gary Zimak provided the Sunday readings for cycle A, B and C so no matter which liturgical year it is, you can still follow the readings! If you struggle with anxiety during the holidays and worry you are not spending enough time meditating on the true purpose of Advent, this book is for you!

In Find Peace in Advent, author Gary Zimak does a fine job of helping to alleviate the stress of one of the most stressful times of the year.

For many individuals, Advent is fraught with frustration, fueled by tangled Christmas light cords, endless lines at the cash register, and a jumble of pre-Christmas jitters. The author comes to the rescue with musings that speak to our hearts through the heart of Jesus.

This book is a bridge to a closer relationship with the Lord, which is the whole point of the Advent season. With Gary as your guide, you may never look at this time of penitential observance the same way again.

I believe that my Advent season will be a great deal more tranquil, thanks to this edifying book.

Gary Zimak is back with another inspirational devotional designed to help people find inner peace. The book is neatly divided up with daily meditations and Bible readings designed to help one apply them in daily life. I liked that the Sunday ones are split up for year A, B, and C meaning that this can be used year after year. A must have for any Catholic struggling to find peace in this world! Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC!
