Tied in Knots: Finding Peace in Today’s World

Greg Willits
Our Sunday Visitor, 176 pages

Stress is a way of life for most of us as we face life’s myriad challenges. Greg Willits can’t take away our “knots” of anxiety, but he does suggest how we can find peace in the midst of our worries through self-mastery.

Sharing his own experiences, Willits offers advice on fostering healthy habits, dealing with stressful situations, and identifying blessings amid our difficulties. Above all, he counsels habits of praying, seeking God’s will, maintaining faith and hope, and frequenting the sacrament of Reconciliation.

Unsurprisingly, he recommends a particular novena — to Mary, Undoer of Knots, a favorite devotion of Pope Francis.
