About this product

Product Information

A New York Times Bestseller! In the final two months of his life, Joseph Cardinal Bernardin made it his mission to share his personal reflections and insights in this book, The Gift of Peace . Using as a framework the previous three years of his life, which included a widely publicized false accusation of sexual misconduct and a re-diagnosis of cancer after 15 months of remission, Cardinal Bernardin tells his story openly and honestly. At the end of his life, the Cardinal showed us all that one of the greatest gifts we can receive is the gift of peace--a gift that comes from God alone.

Curtains were new, in sealed packaging, then shipped with extra padding protection. Exactly as described. Seller had to handle an unexpected eBay glitch, which was done with grace and relative speed given the issue. Very responsive to messages. Highly recommend this seller.

    Great book

    I gave this book to my husband as a gift many years ago. He loved it and so did I. A friend of ours was dying and we bought it for him. His daughter was going to read it to him. Unfortunately he passed away last Sunday. His daughter has the book now and she will read it. Written by the Cardinal who was dying. A beautiful testimony on forgiveness.

    Condition of book

    I ordered 4 of the books the gift of peace. 3 were in excellent condition and one had severe water damage on the back of the book with warped pages and the outer cover color ran. Very unethical to list something like this as excellent condition.

    Accepting Life's Catastrophies

    Cardinal Bernardin described the catastrophies of his last three years before his death, from the false accusation of abuse to his terminal illness, and how he accepted these events and was at peace. It is a short book of 153 pages and can be read at one sitting.

    The GIft of Peace

    This is an inspiring story about peace through forgiveness and acceptance. The author shares a wonderful life lesson. It was recommended to me and I will recommend it to others. It is not necessary to be Catholic to appreciate person't life story. The good life principles discussed in the book are common to most faith traditions, as well as to the life philosophies of many nonbelievers.
