Finding Perfect Peace in the Character of God

Read by the author.

Find freedom from anxiety as you lift your gaze from the problems and pressures of this world to the changeless and powerful character of your heavenly Father.

Is my cancer back? Is my job secure? Will I ever get married? Are my children safe? Our lives are often a chronicle of trouble, pain, and uncertainty--and God's children yearn for peace. Many who wrestle with anxiety and despair know that the Bible calls them to "trust God," but what does that even mean?

In Consider the Lilies, pastor, podcaster, and speaker Jonny Ardavanis shows us God's consistent response to those who are worn down by worry and badgered by melancholy: He proclaims His own character. Drawing on that perspective-shifting model, Jonny offers biblical insight on how to ground our thoughts and fix our gaze on who God is.

Compassionate, biblical, and timely, Consider the Lilies explores:

• How dwelling on the character of God is the surest pathway to peace
• The root causes of anxiety and worry in the Bible
• What the Bible says about the integration of our physical and spiritual lives
• Why worry grieves God's heart as our Father

Consider the Lilies is for those who long for liberation from their anxiety and fear--and desire to deeply know the God they are called and enabled to trust. If you are starved for hope and gasping for peace, consider the character of your heavenly Father, who welcomes all who are anxious, fearful, and melancholy to trust in Him.

Reflection questions are included in the PDF enhancement.

Love for Christ and how to be filled with unspeakable Joy!

The beginning of the book being read by Scottish man almost deterred me from diving deeper. I’m hearing impaired so other accents are hard to understand. Was so glad the rest of the book was read by the author.

Biblical wisdom on finding peace no matter the circumstances.

I will listen to this book over and over! Wow! It is encouraging, convicting, and reminds me that everything we need for all of life on this earth is found in God’s word.

Enjoyed Consider The Lilies

The author, Jonny Ardavanis, offers biblical insight on how to ground our thoughts and keep our eyes fixed on God. Book’s focus is “not being anxious.” Although, the book can also be appreciated for how each chapter focuses on God’s Character and gives scripture chapter and verse, which provides the resources for Christians to remember who they are in Christ.

Wise & Insightful

Thank you so much for this wonderful book! I and thankful I read it. I recommend it highly.

Easy Read

This book helped me to look to scripture I never real meditated on. I hope that the Lord continues to move through Jonny and used him to draw others to the scripture. I hope to be able to truly look at Gods character and that I will find true joy in God’s promises.
