We live in a loud, loud world.
Whether it's the criticism of others, the clamor of injustice, or the voice of anxiety from within, we are constantly being bombarded with noise.
So what does it mean to find peace in the midst of all the noise? Is there a way to acknowledge the struggles we face and learn how to manage the stressors and voices that trigger us while believing in the promises and goodness of God?
Jamie Grace has lived in the middle of noise for most of her life. Many know her as a singer with radio hits who has spent the last decade on stages and in front of the camera, but behind the scenes, she has struggled with Tourette Syndrome, ADHD, and an anxiety disorder for most of her life. But in the middle of both inner and outer noise, Jamie has learned how to manage the negative effects of her diagnoses, make the most of her strengths, and lean into the journey God has led her on.
A journey of Finding Quiet.
My Review 🖤
I remember the first time I heard a Jamie Grace song. I was volunteering in the children's building during second service at the church I had just joined a few months before. It was the second grade class and the leader of our group blasted Show Jesus. I can still remember the little dance that we made up for the kids, and it is one of those precious memories that will stick with me for the rest of my life. So, when I heard that Jamie had written a book, about quiet no less, I had to get my hands on it and read it.
Finding Quiet is such a great read! It gave me the opportunity to see Jamie from a different perspective, understanding the woman behind the microphone, a person who is struggling just like myself. I loved learning about the inspiration behind some of her songs, making them all the more special to listen to, and I love that everything she speaks she points right back to the Bible, which is so important. So many Christian nonfiction books these days sound good, and even give good advice, but if there is nothing pointing you back to the Word of God, then it is for nothing.
Quiet is a foreign concept in our society, with someone or something always fighting for your attention. Whether it's a partner, kids, social media, or just an electronic in general, there is always that itch to fill the nothingness. When was the last time you just sat in the quiet? I tried it a few days ago, and I was shocked with how uncomfortable I was. That's not good. Finding Quiet is a great resource that reminds me how important it is to get quiet, and to spend those precious moments with the Lord, and I am so grateful and thankful that I had the opportunity to read this wonderful resource. I hope Jamie continues to write, as she has such a down-to-earth style that really resonates with me, and I'm sure it will resonate with you too.
