Product Description
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 mistreatedhow can the atonement help me cope with that? How can I discover the desire to repent when I dont 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.

We're all "Rick" here. June 14, 2008
In the last few weeks, my Savior, my wife, my therapist, this book and the better angels of my own nature have all combined on me in a massive intervention that has saved my life and my marriage of 10 years.
Why do we center our lives on Christ? This book explains why! April 30, 2008
This book explains what it means to be Christian, to accept the atonement of Jesus Christ, and to model oneself after him.
This is a very powerful book and opens our understanding of what it means to love, to forgive, to be forgiven, to become less selfish, and to bring peace, through story and parables.
It's true - and it is nearly impossible to put down!
A good book to read and to share with friends who do not know Christ.
This book explains why we believe in a way that is easy to grasp.
A Profound and Important Book! March 21, 2008
This is a profound book that has had a profound impact on my life. The treatment of the doctrines surrounding the Atonement of the Savior are made deeply personal for any reader and the bridge between "knowing" and "doing" is effectively constructed. All of this makes The Peacegiver a tremendously important work for anyone serious about discipleship.
Very insightful and truly life-changing (and life-saving) February 19, 2008
Ferrell does an outstanding job on many levels in this book, yet all angles are about the Atonement of Christ and how to apply it in our lives. First of all, he engages in some very insightful and inspiring scriptural interpretation and gleans life-changing principles (truths about the Atonement) from some unexpected sources -- stories that are often overlooked. Second, he presents them in a framework that is personable to just about anyone and helps the reader to empathize with the characters and their predicament. And third, Ferrell challenges the reader to experience learning of the principles for himself or herself and thus to internalize these principles and become a better person through Christ. I could not recommend too many books more than this one.
The Peacegiver is true to it's name February 18, 2008
The Peacegiver: How Christ Offers to Heal Hearts and Homes
This book was really great and is now one of my favorite books. It really made a difference in the way I saw my spouse, my children, my coworkers, and even the people that drive me nuts. It contains some of the most profound insight on the atonement of Christ that I have ever heard. The story used to convey the material is engaging and really helped me to remember the points he was making. Another book I would recommend that contains very similar points but from a non-religious viewpoint is Leadership and Self Deception: Getting Out of the Box. Both are very good for helping you to see people in ways that makes it easier to love and work with them.
