Product Description

Dr. Graham shares God's gentle reassuring promise of spiritual calm-of authentic spiritual peace-amidst a personal life wracked with too much stress, too many burdens, too great a heart-ache period. Drawing from Romans 5:1, "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ," Dr. Graham addresses such issues as: After Death-What?, Why Jesus Came, What is Faith, Hope for the Future, and Peace at Last. With quiet confidence and surefooted faith, Billy Graham points unerringly toward the One who is the only dependable source of the peace that passes understanding. Both comforting and challenging, this classic explanation of the human predicament and the divine answer has been changing lives for generations.

Amazon.com Review
Billy Graham wrote Peace with God: The Secret of Happiness in 1953, a time that is often remembered today for its innocence and simplicity. Yet Graham's book, which is essentially an explanation of Christian grace, reminds readers that the stress and anxiety we face today are abiding aspects of the human condition, as challenging in the 21st century as they were in the Eisenhower era. "You are not alone," Graham writes. "All mankind is traveling with you, for all mankind is on [the] same quest. All humanity is seeking the answer to the confusion, the moral sickness, the spiritual emptiness that oppresses the world. All mankind is crying out for guidance, for comfort, for peace."

Graham answers those cries with a comprehensive story of humanity's sin and redemption in the person of Christ. Like a traditional sermon, Peace with God includes three sections that are intended to change the reader's heart: "Assessing the Situation" (of fallen humanity); "Advancing the Solution" (to the problems of sin); and "Applying the Antidote" (of Christian belief and spiritual power). By the end of the book, Graham offers "Peace at Last." His exhortation to believe is powerful and decisive: "It's all yours, and it's free. You don't have to work for it," he explains. At Graham's conclusion, the reader may come to understand that peace and freedom, as much as stress and anxiety, are abiding aspects of the human condition, and really can be found. --Kevin Attwood

Billy Graham's Best Book on Salvation
Written in 1953, this is clearly Billy Graham's best book. It was penned for any person who wants to know how to have peace with God. "Peace with God" is a term that the Rev. Graham uses to refer to how a person becomes a Christian and a child of God. Becoming a Christian generally involves the following steps:

1. Realizing our (mankind's) state of sinfulness and spiritual depravity and realizing we need a Savior.
2. Repenting of our sinfulness (turning our backs on sin and the willingness to seek a new life).
3. Learning how the death and resurrection of Jesus makes a new life (being "Born Again") possible.
4. Accepting the sacrifice of Jesus and making him the leader and King of one's life.
5. Beginning a new life in Christ, receiving his Holy Spirit, and living a life that is pleasing to God by loving others.

Billy Graham's book is probably the single best book that explains the above process in detail. The reader learns what sin is, how God's law affects man and its implications for salvation, and what mankind can do through Christ to find a rock-solid secure salvation. People often hear how "Christ died for the sins of mankind", yet, many people do not understand what this means. Billy Graham makes this very clear chapter by chapter.

This is a wonderfully written book and is gripping for the earnest person seeking peace with God. It helped me understand what the purpose of God's Law is, and what significance Christ's death has for every believer. Highly recommended. This book can change your future forever!
