Finding Peace in an Anxious World
edited by Erin James-Brown
This study by staff of the Urban Village Church uses the book of Proverbs and “The Serenity Prayer” as a guide to help Christians find their way through anxiety, worry, and fear and move towards God’s peace that surpasses all understanding. Each of the 4 sessions looks at a section of “The Serenity Prayer” and teaches a spiritual practice to develop peace.
