When you breathe in all the grace available to you and release everything that is outside of your control, you'll discover peace that surpasses your circumstances. All it takes is practice.

If you feel overwhelmed with anxiety about the future, you're far from alone. For many of us, when we're not worrying about what is to come, we find ourselves wrestling with things from the past. Where does that leave us today?

Morgan Harper Nichols has learned the answer to this question. She has examined stories from her own life and the lives of people around the world and noticed a common thread: we all long for peace. We're all seeking light and life.

But these things don't happen passively.

Peace Is a Practice invites you to become an active peacemaker in your own life, starting right where you are, and in some of the most unexpected places. As these words and images inspire you to take daily steps toward peace, you'll uncover the key to:

  • Embracing the beauty of the present
  • Letting go of regret of the past and fear of the future
  • Developing a path toward meaning and authenticity
  • Approaching life's challenges with faith and a calm confidence
  • Feeling peace even in the midst of uncertainty or difficult times

 

In every moment, there is something as deep and boundless as a winding river waiting to be found--a true peace that flows, beckoning you to rest and be still.

Beautiful books by Morgan Harper Nichols A striking collection of illustrated poetry and prose, inviting you to "stumble into the sunlight" and delight in the wild and boundless grace you've been given. Morgan weaves together personal reflections with her signature poems to share her journey to reclaim moments of brokenness, division, and pain and re-envision them as experiences of reconciliation, unity, and hope. Never-before-seen art and poetry that reimagines the classic heroine's story and invites readers into their own journeys of self discovery. Peace Is a Practice invites you to become a peacemaker in your own life, starting right where you are, and in some of the most unexpected places.

Morgan Harper Nichols is an exquisite writer as she puts her heart into ALL she does. She is an example of putting faith to work. Her love for words takes the reader to a place where each words embodies life in practicing peace by actually living it herself. She share this in her wonderful book. She reminds me of Maya Angelou in how her heart reaches out in sharing the importance of taking life in one day at a time. Thanking God for her journey and her wonderful writing and art. 💓💞 Thank you dear one. -Love, Liz

This was my first time reading a book published by Morgan Harper Nichols. I don't recall how she got on my author/reading radar but I'm thankful that I'm I came across this book. This book had me taking notes on index cards and it having several discussions with myself. To the point where I was answering my own questions. Ha. Since reading this book, I've been allowing myself to journal more often than normal. I've learned that journaling doesn't have to be a sophisticated process.

I look forward to reading her other pieces of art.

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
I am reviewing this as someone who is familiar with Morgan Harper Nichols and her work. I have listened to several episodes of her podcast and followed her for some time on Instagram. If you are as or more familiar with her work, then a lot of the content in this book won't feel new. I read the hard copy of the book and I also listened to the audiobook version, which is narrated by Ms. Nichols.

Having read many books on mindfulness, mental health, and psychology, this book felt very basic. It didn't provoke any deep thoughts and felt like a collection of summaries of ideas I've heard before. At best it felt like a gentle pep-talk. I can tell that Ms. Nichols is a well-read person and is curious about the mind, but I didn't feel that she added anything new to the conversation and instead re-worded a lot of her favorite quotes and messages she'd picked up over the years.

I did sense more depth and emotion when Ms. Nichols touched on how the simple act of writing and creating art/poetry is an act of rebellion for African Americans due to anti-literacy laws. When she speaks of her own ancestry and how it has shaped her current experience, I am able to feel the raw honesty that I wish was prevalent throughout the book. I got a similar sense of honesty when the author would speak about her own personal experiences and struggles. However, the passages that were directed at the reader, giving them suggestions for how to practice peace, felt very generic.

The author is a Christian and there are definitely religious undertones throughout the book. As a non-believer, I had to resist the urge to be dismissive of some of those ideas. I did feel as though she was writing the book for a Christian audience that might not have read a lot of other philosophical books on mindfulness and mental health. Often times the book read as though it was written as a Sunday Service speech.

Even though I give this 3.5 stars for my personal experience, I do think it would be a great gift for someone who is struggling with life but is resistant to reading material that is too scientific, too philosophical, or maybe someone who doesn't read a whole lot of books in general. It is an easy read. A bit too easy.

This is a very thoughtful message. Get ready to ponder and notice the thoughts that demand space in your mind every day. Do I want those thoughts and the resulting actions that must come from that way of viewing the world? Or do I choose peace and the healing for myself and others that comes from true peace.
To the health and healing of your soul my friend.
