"Peace is one of the most powerful words in the Bible. We often hear the phrases 'peace and quiet' and 'peace of mind,' but these expressions suggest only a limited view of peace. Shalom, the Hebrew word that is translated peace, encompasses much more. Shalom includes completeness, soundness, safety, health, tranquility, contentment, and friendship. When we have shalom we have everything we need."
