Dona Nobis Pacem [Grant Us Peace] - Paperback

by Thomas K. Shannon (Author)

Dona Nobis Pacem explores and exposes a few of the methods people use to cope with the inevitable bad circumstances that life itself presents. The tale also reminds readers of God's perfect timing, grace, and healing. Like so many, each of the characters inside have self-designed lifestyles that seemingly work for them. The story begins with Peter Max and Steven Cross deciding to embark on an old-fashioned "road trip" to find the meaning of life, as an attempt to restore a once close friendship interrupted by a life event that left them emotionally crippled.In their minds, after years of torment, they have righted themselves; one through limits, the other through conquests.

During their travels, the friends happen upon Sarah Gerrity, who eventually rattles each friend's personal concept of reality. As the three create experiences that lead to relationships, convictions get dissolved and opinions get reversed, until finally foundations begin to crumble. It is in that moment, God provides, and lives are transformed.
