Agonizing Peace

If you're not sure where God is during the tough times, or whether He even cares, you're not alone. Are you lacking peace in your life while you walk through a traumatic experience? You're not alone. Discover the path to regain and retain real peace with God, with others, and with yourself amid tragedy. Powering through difficult times is tough, but not impossible.
