What makes it hard for you to rest? A fear of failure or of disappointing others? The burdensome conviction that no one else can do the job as it needs to be done? The nagging need for respect and approval? Fears about your own inadequacies? If you have ever lamented, If I don t do it, who will? the problem is more than busyness. You?ve missed what it means to know God as Creator and liberator in this part of your life. No wonder you are exhausted and anxious! Rest is an exercise of faith, a way of living out the truth that God is in loving control of our world. In Rest, Winston T. Smith helps you ask the question that lies at the heart of Sabbath rest: Whom or what do you serve? He shows you how to build rest into your life and break free from the things that keep you from peace.
