What does the atonement mean, practically speaking? How is Christ the answer to a strained relationship with a spouse, child, parent, or sibling? What if I am being mistreated—how can the atonement help me cope with that? How can I discover the desire to repent when I don’t feel the need to repent" And how can I invite others to do the same? These are the challenging, difficult questions of daily life, questions to which the gospel must provide answers if it is to have living, cleansing, redeeming power. The Peacegiver is a book about the answers to these questions. Unlike other books about the atonement, The Peacegiver is written as an extended parable. It tells the story of a man struggling, with the help of a loved one, to come unto Christ. IN reading the rich details of his often difficult journey, we find ourselves embarked on a personal journey of our own. His questions are our questions; his problems, our problems; his discoveries, our discoveries. Along the way, the truths of the gospel are unfolded with surprising clarity and power, illuminating aspects of the atonement that few of us have ever heard or considered before. These surprising implications show us the way to deep and lasting peace in our hearts and homes. "My peace I give unto you," the Savior declared. The Peacegiver explores in a deeply personal way what we must do to receive the peace he stands willing to give.Rating Out Of Books The Peacegiver: How Christ Offers to Heal Our Hearts and Homes

The Atonement is so important to our lives; on that point, Ferrell and I agree. The author's delivery was poor, his writing trite and silly, and in general written with a male focused slant that I found offensive. How odd, that I really disliked a book called "The Peacegiver". The parables were beaten until dead, the main character was stubborn and quite off-putting, and the author parades his professional and church callings in order to sell more books. I know that I missed the point of thisFerrells Strength in Analyzing Scripture Ferrell is strongest in his retelling of scripture stories and in his deep and insightful analysis and commentary on those stories. In the first section of the book, Ferrell brought to life for me the story of Abigail, David, and Nabal found in 1 Samuel 25. Ferrell is a close reader of scripture, asking questions of the text that yield various levels of meaning. His commentary on Abigail as a type of Christ was beautifully done. His unpacking of Abigails
This is a wonderful view of the atonement. You look at the atonement not only for your own sins, but in the aspect of those who have harmed or offended you.How you have to forgive their actions; turning those actions over into the loving arms of Christ. If you do not forgive; you then carry that as your sin. Christ suffered for each of us. When we do not forgive others; we are saying that his suffering wasn't enough. For me that was very humbling, do I want to stand before Christ and say "I know
This book is EXCELLENT. The Atonement is something that I really don't understand - and surely will not in this life. BUT this book helped me to see the power of the Atonement in way I never had before. I actually read it before my book group did, on recommendation and as a gift from a very good family friend. I knew I wouldn't be disappointed because I love and highly respect this person, but it was better than I thought it would be. It is written as a parable, so it's not just straight up
This book has to be the one of the best LDS books ever written besides the Book of Mormon. It really gives you such amazing insight to the scriptures and explains it in such a way I never thought of before. It taught me that Christ not only forgave us our sins and mistakes but he has already gone through the sins and mistakes of those who has done us wrong and because of that we need to forgive them even though they may have not taken that step to apologize. It's absolutely amazing. A family man
This book gives wonderful perspectives and deep insights into the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and the opportunity He gives for forgiveness, healing, and atonement. The author gets at things from many different angles to explore the topic deeply and I believe in order to get readers to think more deeply about the subject. The main character in the book vacillates between feelings of progress and feelings of being trapped by bad ruts, between feeling hopeful and despairing when efforts to improve
