About

God wants us to rest. In fact, he designed us to need to rest, and he commanded us to rest as an expression of our freedom as his people. So why do we have such a hard time pausing to find refreshment and renewed strength? Biblical counselor Heather Nelson diagnoses the patterns of thinking that lead us to reject rest and helps us, over thirty-one days, to develop a plan for rest that is biblical and tailored to our own specific context and needs.

Endorsements

“I recommend this book to anyone who feels weary, tired, burned out, or uncertain about how to incorporate rest into daily life. You will be encouraged and convicted in the best way possible to change your relationship with rest and accept God’s good gift of Sabbath.”

—Esther Smith, Author, A Still and Quiet Mind

“Highly personal and full of hard-but-fair self-diagnostic questions, this devotional frames rest as freedom flowing from faith in our Creator. . . . Nelson acknowledges that resting well requires effort, but she makes a compelling case that restful refreshment from the Lord is worth it.”

—Alasdair Groves, Executive Director, Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation

“Heather Nelson’s book was just the tonic my soul needed. . . . Each day’s devotional brims with hopeful refreshment undergirded by a rich theology of an oft-neglected topic in the church.”

—Jonathan D. Holmes, Executive Director, Fieldstone Counseling

Rest is a book that helps you discipline yourself over a month to create habits that can enrich your life for years to come.”

—Brad Hambrick, Pastor of Counseling, The Summit Church, Durham, North Carolina
