Peace I bequeath to you, my own peace I give you, a peace the world cannot give, this is my gift to you.(Jn. 14: 27, NJB)
Welcome to Shalom Place
An Online Christian Spirituality Center
"Shalom" is the Hebrew word used by Jesus in reference to the peace he promises. It has no real equivalent in the English language, referring to inner peace, joy and the fullness of life (Jn. 10: 10).
This web site is dedicated to helping people come to realize this shalom by providing a wide variety of resources to encourage and support Christian contemplative spirituality. I hope you will find it so.
