Billy Graham

Billy Graham, world-renowned preacher, evangelist, and author, delivered the gospel message to more people face-to-face than anyone in history and ministried on every continent of the world in almost 200 countries and territories. His ministry extended far beyond stadiums and arenas, utilizing radio, television, film, print media, wireless communications, and thirty-four books, all that still carry the good news of God’s redemptive love for humanity.

Dear Friend,

Nothing in recent history has shaken our world so dramatically as the terrible events of September 11, 2001. We are still reeling from those mindnumbing terrorist attacks, and the future is still filled with uncertainty and fear.

Yet the yearning for peace in our world is but a mirror of an even deeper yearning—a yearning for peace in our souls. And just as the search for world peace often seems frustrating and hopeless, so our search for personal peace often seems doomed to failure. Perhaps this has been your experience.

Is peace in our hearts and minds possible? Yes— and in the pages of this little book I invite you to come with me and discover the key to personal peace for yourself.

In the half-century since I wrote my book Peace with God, many people have shared with me how it helped point them to the path to true peace. My prayer is that this book, based on Peace with God (with excerpts from some of my other writings), will point you to lasting peace—peace with God, peace with others, and peace in your heart.

You will seek me and find me

when you seek me with all your heart.

—JEREMIAH 29:13 NIV

Sometimes you have tried to forget about the quest. Sometimes
