"This worthwhile collection of thoughts about the 21st century church and its connection to rest leads to the key for this book: 'The pursuit of rest is really the pursuit of God.' Koessler assures us that God is in control and that He will take care of things even if we do make time to step away and rest. In addition to refocusing thoughts about our own misconception of God and rest, this book includes reflections and discussion questions for personal and group studies. It will help you rethink your own goals and how you measure success."--Donna Watson, CBA Retailers+Resources, February 2016
"Koessler does a great job of explaining how they help fight against our out-of-control ambition, fear, and fatigue. He's able to see and explain the problem clearly, and present hopeful solutions in a fresh way. . . . It is, as you might expect, refreshing."--Matt Erickson, Facts Trends, December 4, 2015
Reseña del editor:
We live in a culture that values activity, achievement and accomplishment. Whether in our careers, churches, schools or families, busyness is the norm in our lives, and anything less makes us feel unproductive and anxious. We have to work all the harder, then, to pursue true rest in a 24-7 world that is constantly in motion.John Koessler understands that rest is not automatic or easy to attain. He names the modern-day barriers to becoming people of rest and presents a unique perspective on how pursuing rest leads us to the heart of God. With honest, biblical reflections on trends in our culture and churches, he exposes our misconceptions regarding the concept of rest, as well as offering correction and practices to align our ideas with God's ideal.The book includes reflection and discussion questions designed for both individual and group use. You will discover the true meaning behind Jesus' idea of the yoke of rest and restoration for your mind, body and soul.
