Catholic author and self-described \"recovering worrier\" Gary Zimak offers a practical, scripture-based approach to Advent so we can make room for Jesus in our chaotic, busy, and fast-paced lives. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e While most Catholics have an awareness of Lenten practices, we often don't know what to do during Advent--even if we know both seasons are times of preparation. On top of this, the holiday season arrives with its own busy rhythms with family and friends. Many of us know that Advent is supposed to be a special season, but we are so pre-occupied with getting ready for the holidays that we fail to benefit from it. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFind Peace in Advent! \u003c\/i\u003ewill enable you to deepen your relationship with Jesus and find peace during one of the most stressful times of the year. This book, which uses a similar approach to the bestselling \u003ci\u003eGive Up Worry for Lent!\u003c\/i\u003e, requires only a few minutes of reading each day and helps you grow closer to Jesus and experience the peace that only he can give. The daily readings and reflections are easy to digest and connect to the daily Mass readings and the rhythm of the Advent season. With each entry, Zimak guides you to ponder foundational truths of faith and apply them to your own life with four simple steps: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Read \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Reflect \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Respond \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Pray \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e As you continue to meditate on scripture and practice the simple action steps at the end of each reflection, you will find it easier to let go of your stress and worries and instead take small steps to deepen your relationship with God and make him the center of your life. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e There is no better time to seek interior peace than Advent, which is a time to prepare to celebrate the many ways Jesus reaches into our lives.
