About this ebook

From the influential and ever-growing movement "I Am Second" comes a remarkable collection of well-known lives transformed from restless to happy by the power of God.

When I Am Second launched in 2008, the organization meant simply to tell stories of people whose lives changed utterly when they placed God first and themselves second. Although the organization has exploded in size and influence since, that original mission has remained the same--and continues to have enormous power today. I Choose Peace is the highly anticipated new book from I Am Second, gathering together stories of people who searched everywhere for fulfillment and wholeness and found it only when they surrendered to God. People whose stories appear include the following:

  • Chip and Joanna Gaines
  • Kathie Lee Gifford
  • Albert Pujols
  • Shawn Johnson
  • Phil and Kay Robertson
  • Brian "Head" Welch

Moving, compelling, and profoundly inspiring, the stories found here remind us that our hearts will always be restless until they find their rest in God.

Our greatest growth comes from our deepest pain. Suffering not only offers an opportunity for growth, it also sanctifies, making us more like Jesus. Our experiences, lessons learned, and empathy gained through suffering are the very things that make us who we are. After reading the multiple stories in "I Choose Peace" and considered the various perspectives, I started putting it together. I realized they all offer biblical, Godly, wise, helpful, and necessary insight. Had the stories in this amazing read come from only one perspective, there would have been much missed and an immeasurable impact gone unheard.
