Living the Serenity Prayer: True Stories of Acceptance, Courage, and Wisdom

by Jeanett Gardner Littleton, James Stuart Bell

Overview

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can; and
the wisdom to know the difference.

Prayer is the light that guides us through our darkest days. And the Serenity Prayer shines its brightest when you need it most-during times of trial and recovery. In Living the Serenity Prayer, you'll meet thirty-five people who, just like you, have drawn strength from this beloved poem. People like;

• Jay, who stops blaming God for the difficulties he's faced-and instead lets God help him stop drinking
• Lisa, whose son's battle with autism is one she must fight as well
• Lynn, who lets go of her anger toward her drug-addicted daughter because "only God can change a heart"

You'll find comfort and hope in these moving stories inspired by the Serenity Prayer. With God's grace, you too can persevere through life's challenges-and encourage others along the way.
