Make Me an Instrument of Your Peace: Becoming More like Jesus Through the Prayer of St. Francis
"Reflect and inspire the peace of Christ in a world torn by conflict, polarization, and broken relationships.
In today’s chaotic and polarized culture, many people quietly ask, “What difference can I make?” Instead of reacting with frustration or retreating in silence, what if you could reflect the peace of Christ in ways that ease tensions, inspire others, and encourage healthy conversations? In Make Me an Instrument of Peace, thought-leading pastor and author Mark DeYmaz challenges you to rediscover the radical power―and the deep blessings―of authentic peacemaking. Each chapter unpacks a single line of the famous prayer, commonly attributed to St. Francis of Assisi, for meaningful reflection and life application.
This spiritually rich and timely discipleship resource will help you to:
- explore foundational passages in the Bible, including Isaiah 61 and Luke 4, upon which the Peace Prayer is likely based
- address key questions after each chapter―ideal for personal study or small group discussion
- build a biblical framework and practical roadmap for becoming a peacemaker in the face of injustice and division
- take actionable steps to reject passivity, embrace spiritual formation, and lead others from pain to promise by embodying the humility and hope of Christ
Now more than ever, the world needs believers who don’t just pray for peace and restoration―but live for it. Make Me an Instrument of Peace will equip you to step into the tension of our times with clarity, courage, and compassion. It’s a timely and transformative response for Christians longing to advocate for humanity in a hostile world."
