I CHOOSE PEACE: New Book from I Am Second

Peace.

We are all looking for it.

We all need it.

Yet for many, it remains just out of reach. Restless, discontent, lacking in purpose and direction, we feel its absence. But peace can be found. You can choose peace.

Today, we announce the newest book from I Am Second and author Doug Bender, I Choose Peace: Raw Stories of Real People Finding Contentment and Happiness. This book tells the stories of people who searched everywhere for fulfillment and wholeness but found it only when they put Jesus first in their lives. Those who found contentment, happiness, and peace, in the face of every kind of struggle include:

• Chip and Joanna Gaines, hosts of HGTV’s Fixer Upper

Some praise for I Choose Peace:

“I Am Second provides an honest look at how others have found peace in their lives through a relationship with Christ. The stories each person shares reflect real life struggles we can allrelate to and how each found their encouragement in Christ.”

JOE GIBBS, Pro Football Hall of Fame coach, NASCAR Hall of Fame owner

“I Choose Peace reminds me that peace only comes from the Peace Maker and that always to be thankful and loving to my neighbors is the path to peace.”

MICHAEL TAIT, Newsboys lead singer

“Everything I Am Second does is for one goal—to inspire people to put Jesus first. I Choose Peace does just that, and I can’t recommend it enough.”

ANNIE LOBERT, founder of Hookers For Jesus and Destiny House

“For the past ten years, I Am Second has used powerful storytelling through film to show individuals from all walks of life putting Jesus first. In the same vein, I Am Second’s newest book, I Choose Peace, has the opportunity to further inspire and help readers discover thetrue secret to fulfillment and wholeness is found in God.”

STEVE GREEN, president of Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc., founder and chairman of the board of Museum of the Bible.

“In a world where peace seems ever elusive, this book is a needed reminder that true peace, God’s peace, is a gracious provision constantly available to believers. The stories shared in this book reveal the honest struggles, pain, hardships, and difficulties many of us have experienced in life. However, you cannot read the book without leaving with a sense of profound hope. The peace of God discovered in these stories is God’s provision available to you and me. But in this book, you will discover that true peace cannot be found apart from God. A true and lasting peace can only come when you belong to Him.”
