Finding Peace in Difficult Times

Finding Peace in Difficult Times, How I Found My Way Back to God After the Worst Year of My Life, by Tom Monson

In 1992, my whole world collapsed.

In January, my mom died. My son was killed in April. And in June, I lost the love of my life. The pain was so crushing that I turned my back on God completely. For the next eight years, I wanted nothing to do with God or His church. Even hearing Jesus’ name made me angry.

I was broken, bitter, and convinced that God had abandoned me.

What finally brought me back wasn’t a powerful sermon or a big church service. It was a small group of honest, caring people who reminded me of something I had forgotten: God’s love is unconditional. Nothing I had done, and nothing I was going through, could separate me from His love.

That small group changed everything. It’s where I began to heal. And it’s the reason I wrote Finding Peace in Difficult Times.

I’m not a pastor or a Bible scholar. I’m just a man who walked through the deepest of pain and discovered how powerful God’s Word can be when it’s shared honestly in a safe, small-group setting. That’s why I created this 13-lesson study. I designed it to help people find the same peace and healing I found.

The book starts with the most important truth of all: God’s Unconditional Love. From there, we walk through real-life struggles that most of us face: anxiety, loneliness, anger, fear, forgiveness, marriage challenges, and more. Every lesson is written in plain language and designed for small groups or personal study.

If you’re going through a difficult season right now, or if you know someone who is, I want to give you something.

Whether you’re thinking about starting a small group this fall or you simply need some encouragement in your own walk with God, I believe this lesson will bless you. And if it speaks to your heart, I hope you’ll consider getting the full book for yourself or your group.

Finding Peace in Difficult Times is Available on Amazon and at TomMonsonProductions.com

Finding Peace in Difficult Times

After losing my mother, my son, and my wife in 1992, I walked away from God for eight years. What finally brought me back was a small group that reminded me of one simple truth: God’s love is unconditional.

This 13-lesson study was written to help people find that same peace and healing.

If this book speaks to you, I’d be truly grateful if you’d buy a copy and leave a rating on Amazon. Your review could help someone else who’s struggling find their way back to hope.
