Maybe you're one of those people looking for a new spiritual challenge, maybe feeling a little empty inside, or shaken by all the financial mess the world is swirling in these days. Whatever your current state of mind, I invite you to come along on a journey with me that could very well change your life.

It costs you nothing, except the time to read a beautiful 170-page book (pdf format) filled with pictures, thought provoking ideas and quotations, some prayers for peace, and a whole lot of suggestions for action you can take to put your beliefs into practice.

My latest book is offered to the world as a free ebook-my humble attempt to help make the world a better place, a more peaceful paradise it was designed to be from the beginning. I just didn't feel right about charging anything for it. I mean, what price do you put on peace? So, I invite you to get your copy while it's available and share it with your family and friends.

Better yet-invite a group of people together to read and discuss it together. I would be happy to help lead the group. Many Christians have a tradition of doing something spiritually special during the season of Lent, which begins Feb. 25 this year. This book would be a perfect way to do something new and enriching for Lent, as it contains 40 different meditations-one for each day of the season.

Whatever you do with it, may the world be a better place because of what you've done! Get the free book and more information at my website: www.walkthepeace.com. Peace!

Read an excerpt from "If Flowers Can Grow in Alaska-Creating a More Peaceful World One Person at a Time," written by Tim Collardey.

"We live in a world that becomes more fearful every day. Whether it's the prospect of economic collapse, life-threatening natural disasters, becoming the victim of a crime, or being blown up by a suicide bomber, we are surrounded by forces that threaten our well-being and that of our loved ones, making us all more afraid.

If we are at all spiritually inclined-and most people believe in some concept of a higher power-our values and attitudes about living a peaceful and nonviolent life are increasingly challenged. That's the focus of this book, to examine how well we actually practice the spiritual values we hold so dear. They are our navigational devices through the rough waters of a fearsome world.

My purpose in writing this book is not to persuade you to think and believe as I do but to better understand and nurture your own beliefs..."
