The Stream: Keys to Peace

The Stream: Keys to Peace is a thoughtful and inspiring book on how create a sense of peace and connection we all crave. With a gentle yet insightful voice, along with beautiful imagery, Thomas guides the readers toward a deeper understanding of peace that is accessible to all of us. As I read each chapter I felt a sense of calm come over me and the relationship between Benito and his grandfather touched my heart. As I finished the book in tears I was left with a feeling of peace, love and gratitude.

“The Stream: Keys to Peace” by Thomas Fargnoli is a story about finding peace and the realization that God is always with us. The story unfolds through discussions between Benito, a twelve-year-old Filipino boy, and his grandfather. Benito, small for his age, has trouble with a bully who picks on smaller kids. One night, Benito has a dream about a stream that is inviting and makes him feel peaceful, exhilarated, and timeless when he enters it. He discusses his dream with his grandfather, who tells him that the stream is more than just flowing water and that there is a connection between him and his stream. His grandfather mentions that Benito will discover five keys in his quest to find his stream, but he lets Benito find the keys at his own pace. I was amazed at the sense of calmness and peace I experienced when I finished reading it. The book has a little supernatural surprise for readers, which makes it more meaningful and interesting. It’s a worthwhile read!

I absolutely loved The Stream: Keys to Peace by Thomas Fargnoli. It beautifully weaves two separate lives into one spirit spirit-awakening journey. Blending faith, hope, and quiet revelation, this tender book guides readers to lasting peace. A true gift.
