Time Peace: Living Here and Now with a Timeless God

by Ellen Santilli Vaughn

In a world that runs with the need for speed, we feel time pushing us, sometimes even mastering us, as we rush from one thing to the next. Time is as familiar as the clock on the wall, yet it's also a mystery. For poets, philosophers, songwriters, and scientists, time and eternity are frontiers as rich and compelling as the origins of the cosmos and the nature of God. One of the emerging writers and thinkers of our day, Ellen Vaughn, takes us on a stirring journey through this topic that touches us all. How can time-bound humans relate to a limitless God and enjoy his peace? Time Peace examines how we experience time in life's fleeting moments. It explores timekeeping through history and in different cultures and introduces the unique Christian distinctive about it. It soars through the space-time continuum in an intriguing exploration of how science and philosophy illuminate biblical accounts. It helps readers take these truths and apply them to everyday life, freeing us to live at peace in time---and to leave a legacy that lasts for eternity.

An interesting look at how Christians engage with the concept of time. From stress to quantum physics to leaving a legacy, this book has a little bit of everything but not sure it quite had the substance anywhere to really land new ideas about how to think about time.

Wise, funny, sobering, comforting, and inspiring all at once. Highly recommended.
