by Nancy a. Matthews (Author)
Finding spiritual peace is an important goal for each of us. Many of us live a very external life, dwelling on the physical and never realizing the importance of the spiritual. With a shift from an external to an internal focus, we begin to discover the beauty that is within ourselves and others and to have a greater sense of faith and trust in God. We seldom take the time to think about the meaning of life. Often, it isn't until we experience a loss, disease, or terminal illness that we really assess the way we are living. This is unfortunate, because valuable opportunities have been missed. Each of us has to learn our own life lessons and discover our individual meaning of life. The purpose of this book is to help you begin the journey toward inner spiritual peace. Using personal experiences, the author will guide you through a process of self-discovery by helping you to reflect on your life story, recognize important life lessons, and author your own philosophy of life.
