Is it really possible to find peace during one of the busiest and stress-filled times of the year? Catholic author and self-described “recovering worrier” Gary Zimak offers a practical, scripture-based approach to Advent so we can make room for Jesus in our chaotic, busy, and fast-paced lives.
While most Catholics have an awareness of Lenten practices, we often don’t know what to do during Advent—even if we know both seasons are times of preparation. On top of this, the holiday season arrives with its own busy rhythms with family and friends. Many of us know that Advent is supposed to be a special season, but we are so pre-occupied with getting ready for the holidays that we fail to benefit from it.
Find Peace in Advent! will enable you to deepen your relationship with Jesus and find peace during one of the most stressful times of the year. This book, which uses a similar approach to the bestselling Give Up Worry for Lent!, requires only a few minutes of reading each day and helps you grow closer to Jesus and experience the peace that only he can give. The daily readings and reflections are easy to digest and connect to the daily Mass readings and the rhythm of the Advent season. With each entry, Zimak guides you to ponder foundational truths of faith and apply them to your own life with four simple steps:
- Read
- Reflect
- Respond
- Pray
As you continue to meditate on scripture and practice the simple action steps at the end of each reflection, you will find it easier to let go of your stress and worries and instead take small steps to deepen your relationship with God and make him the center of your life.
There is no better time to seek interior peace than Advent, which is a time to prepare to celebrate the many ways Jesus reaches into our lives. This four-week process is more than a survival guide to a busy season—it is a journey by which we learn to walk with Jesus, the one who guides our feet onto the path of peace.

Praise
“Gary Zimak intuitively crafts an immersive Advent journey with Find Peace in Advent!. His ‘read, reflect, respond, pray’ process fosters an engaging experience that feels not only accessible but tangible.”
“Gary Zimak’s gift is to bring people, through scripture reading and reflection, to the peace that only Jesus can give. With this little Advent book, Zimak does it again. Take a few minutes a day to read Find Peace in Advent! and, as Christmas approaches, come close to the One who can truly give you rest.”
“Gary Zimak has done it again! Weaving his own experiences into reflection and prayer, he gives us the opportunity to more fully enter into the season. It can be tough to find peace at any time, but especially during Advent—or ‘the holidays’ as we know it now. But with God—and a little help from Zimak—it can be done!”
