Unlike a typical book with many words, Peace in the midst of chaos is a collection of stories revolving around spiritual life told in the form of pictures.
Through the playful drawings, readers can laugh out loud while reading and then find their own image.
Each page of the book will highlight the concerns, difficulties and emotional imbalances that most of us face every day. The lovely stories in the book are divided into three parts.
If Part 1 - Life is a journey that leads us to learn how to slow down and completely resolve the emotional backlog, Part 2 - Overcoming the hurt will help us understand that we should only be sad for a little while, let go of sadness to move on.
Part 3 - Peace in the midst of chaos , which is also the title of the work, will send to our readers the message "Plant and nurture good things that are suitable for yourself, and one day, you will reap good results".
It can be said that each story told with the innocent strokes of author Doris Ong (Thao Han) will be a spiritual vitamin for gloomy, dry days and a cup of energy drink, motivating readers to make more efforts to live a joyful and peaceful life.
