Making Peace with Yourself 15 Steps to Spiritual Healing

By Kathryn James Hermes, FSP

Today's society is full of people who, just like me, long to make peace with themselves. They find themselves in all sorts of situations: unexpected illnesses, financial struggles, personal vulnerability and failure, boredom, and struggles with faith. These situations are complex and unpredictable. In mysterious ways they cause people to plumb the depths of the human spirit, searching for peace. Sometimes these situations even seem unredeemable! This book explores the stories of people like you and me, people faced with situations that often were irreparable, people who need to make peace with themselves?
