The Missing Peace: How to Be Held Together When You’re Falling Apart
In
The Missing Peace
, podcaster and thought leader Tim Ross introduces a stunning perspective on the peace Jesus left us to help us regulate our bodies and emotions as we break free of temporary happiness and walk toward freedom.
Are you okay? Have you tried everything you can think of to get to a place where you feel better, happier? Maybe you've reached for temporary fixes like retail therapy, or playing video games, or finding a spouse or a house in the right zip code, or even prayer and listening to worship music. But nothing seems to work, at least not long term. You don't know what's wrong, but you know you're not okay. You feel exhausted, overloaded, and frustrated. Is this just how life is?
Tim Ross, host of the popular podcast The Basement, offers hope and an eye-opening perspective on the peace Jesus left us and how it can help us regulate our bodies and our emotions, regardless of what is happening around us. Ross's stirring message reminds listeners that
silence isn't golden—giving voice to the soul opens the way to recovery, secrets keep us trapped—we can't heal what we don't reveal, romanticizing pain holds us back—facing it head-on moves us toward healing, and Jesus saved us not to survive but to thrive—we don't need to settle for just getting by. With a depth of pastoral experience and a winsomeness that resonates, Ross helps listeners break free from silent suffering and the insatiable search for happiness by learning how to be truly okay in life's challenges and walk toward the peace and the freedom God created them to enjoy.

My star rating: 5/5🌟
I believe this book is for MANY! Tim is one of my favorite podcasters and the themes in each chapter surrounding the question: what is true peace? resonated deep in my soul.
several times i made notes because i have had a similar journey, wrote a similar analogy down, and audibly laughed because it’s as if he and i are at an endless coffee discussing and yapping.

Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
This is the book I didn’t know I needed but I’m so glad I found it.
In this book Tim Ross provides a blueprint on how to allow yourself to be free. Free in your thoughts and emotions. Free to just be you. He encourages finding a therapist to deal with the things you can’t pray away.
I spent the majority of my life being what my mother calls a silent sufferer. The author uses this book to show readers the benefit and the strength in facing things head on and speaking out in order to heal. This is a an awesome book that I believe the more you read the more you will get out of it. Definitely one to be kept within reach.
Thank you NetGalley and Nelson Books for the opportunity to read this ARC.
