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 discovery could transform not just your life, but the world around you?The Missing Peace invites you into a deeper, more spacious way of living—rooted in the Christian wisdom tradition and 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, conflicted world. Drawing from an almost forgotten wellspring of ancient wisdom reaching back to the Desert Fathers and Mothers, he illuminates a pathway to peace, not through striving, but silence. He speaks to anyone longing for a simple, life-changing spiritual practice but struggling to find the path or companions to walk it with.The Missing Peace begins with Chris’ story―from a secular upbringing to formation at a Benedictine monastery ―interweaving personal narrative with deep spiritual insight. These 43 short reflections offer timeless wisdom and a spiritual practice that research suggests can help us live with greater peace, compassion, connection to God, and alignment with our deepest values— a new way of being that can help us recover the missing peace, together.

'While we continue to see fewer and fewer people regularly attending church services, their deep, genuine longing for the depth-dimension of Christianity has only grown through the years. Sadly, most Christians have absolutely no idea that Christianity has anything to say about this, much less that it has its own vibrant contemplative tradition. This is largely due to the fact that it has never been presented to them. The School of Contemplative Life will surely rate among the most significant responses to the spiritual longings of the people of this nation and abroad. Through its debut book The Missing Peace, its growing online practice community and thoughtfully designed programme of retreats, the School will directly nourish and cultivate the depth-dimension of life, offering Christians – and seekers from all traditions – an accessible pathway to the wellspring of silence, compassion and peace flowing within. Simply put, there is no other organization in this country quite like this, dedicated to helping people discover their groundless Ground, the eternal Mystery ever hidden with Christ in God.'
