When You Need a Savior Who Stills the Wind
“Here’s the rub about faith. Sure, prayer often changes outward things, but the only guaranteed miracle God offers us is inner peace, the peace of Christ. A peace so crazy deep that it cannot be analyzed or understood. It descends on us even when everything else is falling apart, while the drug-addicted child does not come to his senses, or the job offer doesn’t pan out, or the cancer rages and the marriage is a hollow mess. But I’ll let you in on a secret. This miracle of the ‘inner variety,’ this inexplicable and supernatural calm in the storm, is the greatest miracle you’ll ever experience.”
Bestselling author Ken Gire weaves together stories from the Bible, history, and his own life to reveal how we can find strength and encouragement through the storms of life. Experience the joy of knowing the God who is always there to reach out a hand and pull you out of the waves.

A Great Reminder Of God’s Love and His Gift of Peace
By Amanda Harold
“Even Jesus struggled when he was Gethsemane and peace eluded him. But in that painfully horrific space of time, he eventually experienced calm. And though his circumstances did not change, and the cup he asked to be removed still awaited him, peace descended upon the Savior, and he faced his appointed mission with calm, grace, and courage.” Ken GireAs a follower of Christ, we are always in need of reminders and guidance from other followers. Ken Gire does both through his book, At Peace in the Storm.Ken shares, reminds and guides you through life’s storms towards God’s peace from beginning to end of this book. Ken does so through Biblical stories and scripture as well as his own personal life.Ken Gire comes along side you no matter what your storm is and guides you towards finding peace through perspective, scripture, personal stories, rest, creation and recreation to name a few. As you read you will be reminded of God’s love for you and His gift of peace. You will be reminded that Christ is with you and He is bigger than your storm. Your thoughts will shift from the size of your struggle or storm to the size of your God, which is something we all need to be reminded of at times.Ken’s humility is threaded throughout his book with stories from his own personal storms creating a connection with his readers. I would recommend this book to anyone who is walking through a storm and is struggling to see the light and find God’s peace. I would also recommend this book to anyone who knows anyone who is in the midst of their storm, being beaten by the waves and too busy tossing water out to stay afloat to look up and see Christ.Ken’s style of writing is easy to follow and understand. Ken’s compassion is comforting and his words are a steady reminder of God’s love and grace for His children.It was such a blessing to read and review this book and I know God will use this book for His glory and His good to bring peace to many in their storms.

Peace, Sweet Peace
By Rebecca G. Guinn
A little over ten years ago, I was privileged to sit under Ken Gire’s teaching on prayer at a conference in Colorado. The setting was idyllic and the content was life-changing. Three weeks later, I was told there was a mass on my liver and then I played the testing/waiting game. When your doctor tells you that it’s okay to cry, you know it is serious. There was a week between finding the mass and the biopsy to tell me what it was. In the middle of that week, I woke up in the middle of the night unable to sleep, my eyes banged open and refused to close again. When I find myself trying to sleep and having a hard time getting there, I will do a deep-breathing relaxation technique I taught myself. Even that didn’t work. Finally I heard a voice whisper in my head that I would be kept in perfect peace if my mind stayed on the Lord. That phrase ran over and over again through my mind until I drifted back to sleep. When I woke next, rested and refreshed, I got out my Strong’s Exhausting Concordance (have you ever carried one around?) and looked up perfect peace, and there it was, right in the middle of Isaiah; in fact, it was in chapter 26, verse three:You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you,because he trusts in you.This is my word and my verse. I am spending this year resting in God’s perfect peace, so when the opportunity to read and review Ken’s book At Peace in the Storm became available, I jumped at the chance. I have never read anything by Ken that didn’t move me in some way, and this book is no different.Ken has a very conversational style of writing that makes the reader feel they could be discussing his topic over a cup of tea in his living room. His passion about allowing God’s peace to change and inhabit us is clear throughout the book. And it’s more than a matter of finding peace, it’s a matter of looking for peace where God has placed it, and Ken has no lack of examples. One thing that became clear to me that even though this is a very popular understanding of how God works, this particular saying (Sometimes God calms the storm, but sometimes He calms His child) is wrong. Always God calms his child first and then sometimes He will calm the storm.Toward the end of the book, Ken sums it all up like this:Today, you may be aching to see God’s marvelous miracle in the midst of circumstances you cannot control. . . . And it may be that God’s miracle will be witnessed as God changes the outward circumstances you face. The miracle God guarantees, however, is not that He’ll calm the storm. It’s that He’ll calm his child. God’s promise is that the peace of Christ, a peace we cannot fathom, descends upon us when everything else is falling apart.Ken’s descriptions of peace in the presence of God through our reading, movies, scripture, nature, solitude, silence, or friends make so much sense. He’s writing from his own experiences, but those are not so personal that the reader will not be able to empathize. I understood so clearly what he was trying to say, because I’ve been there too. I can’t wait to give my copy of the book to a friend whose circumstances are stormy at best. I want to share with my friend how to find that peace, too. Five Stars, Two Thumbs Up, and a peace beyond all understanding.Bethany House provided me with this book in exchange for my honest review and it’s been my privilege to do so.

When You Need Help
By G. WINEHOLT
AT PEACE IN THE STORMExperiencing the Savior’s Presence When You Need Him MostBy Ken GireAuthor Ken Gire writes stories from his life, history and the Bible that will inspire you to look for Christ in all things. When we are in the middle of our personal storms and feel that we are alone, after reading the stories in this book we will realize that we are not alone, that God is with us in our storms. You will find that God is helping us at all times, even when we think that He has deserted us, we will find out that He has carried us over the ruff places. The author has a chapter about seeing God in our surroundings. He also shows how God can use people to help us. After reading this book, you should be more at ease about the storms that may come up in your life. The book is not long and is a very easy read. The book contains a lot of helpful information.A quote from the book:”The gift of peace in the storm, the gift of calm is, in so many quiet ways, woven into God’s good gift of creation”This tells me God knows about the storms, when they will be, and that He will be with us in all things.I received this book free from Bethany House for purpose of this review, I was not required to write a positive review, the opinions I have expressed are my own.
