What if the peace you long for isn’t something to earn or strive for, but a sacred treasure already within you, waiting in silence to be discovered? What if this quiet discovery could begin to transform not just your life, but our communities and the world?

The Missing Peace is a gentle invitation to a deeper, more spacious way of living—rooted in the Christian wisdom tradition, born of our collective longing to encounter the divine nature of life. Chris Whittington, founder of The School of Contemplative Life, speaks to those feeling overwhelmed by mental noise, disconnected from God or adrift in a restless, fearful and conflicted world. He speaks to anyone longing for a simple, life-changing spiritual practice but struggling to find the path or companions to walk it with.

Drawing from an almost forgotten wellspring of Christian wisdom reaching back to the Desert Fathers and Mothers, he illuminates a pathway to peace, not through striving, but through stillness. As many people continue to drift from institutional religion, or struggle to find spiritual depth within it, meditation may be the missing piece that can help contemporary Christianity recover its contemplative heart.

The Missing Peace begins with the author’s own story—from a secular upbringing to formation at a Benedictine monastery and study at the Dalai Lama’s monastery in India—interweaving personal narrative with deep spiritual insight. This collection of 43 short reflections offers simple and practical wisdom for living with greater presence, purpose, connection, and compassion, exploring how together we might recover the missing peace.
