Sometimes healing comes by waving the white flag of surrender when everyone else is telling you to stay in the fight. When it comes to battling fear, you've fought the good fight. You've read all the right books, prayed the right prayers, and wielded scripture as a sword. You've worked hard to renew your mind. But there's no more fight left within you. You've been waiting for all the teaching, preaching, and memory verses to bridge the gap between your head and your heart. Maybe you've asked yourself, "What's wrong with me? Why can't I get this right?" Perhaps you're clinging to the cross by two splitting fingernails. This book is an invitation to let go...to fall into your Father's loving arms and rest. - Step out of fear and into freedom - Receive a fresh revelation of God's love - Find rest for your spirit Rest for the Weary includes direct Biblical truth and Christian wisdom from beloved writers including C.S. Lewis, Henri Nouwen, Dallas Willard, Andrew Murray, and more. Come as you are. Drop the battle plan and leave the warrior mask behind. True rest, the rest you have been longing for, is found in his perfect love.

Are you exhausted? Women today really do feel the weight of the world on their shoulders. Every morning we are greeted with a long list of to-dos: get the kids up and out the door on time, have a meaningful quiet time, put in a full day at the office, spend an hour at the gym, prepare a healthy and delicious meal (organic and locally grown, of course), and make sure the sink sparkles before you go to bed. Oh, and don’t forget to look great and smile while you’re doing it. These are all good things to do, of course. But the bigger problem occurs when we start to feel as if our worth is measured by our to-do lists. And the messages we receive at church, on Facebook, and from the media only perpetuate these unrealistic expectations, creating a relentless cycle of exhaustion. As Elyse Fitzpatrick has traveled this country, she has seen increasing evidence of this weariness epidemic invading our churches and communities. And she has good news for women everywhere: there is hope! God doesn’t judge us by our to-do lists. Instead, He calls us to faith. Free yourself today from the endless stream of bad advice and discover the true rest God offers.

Discover the secret to real, realistic, non-rules-based rest For some of us, resting seems like a waste of time-it means we're missing out on other things. For others, rest seems like a luxury-there's simply too much to do. And for almost all of us, we crave rest, but don't always know how to. This warm, realistic, humorous book shows us the huge spiritual, emotional and physical rewards of rest. It shows us how rest gives us time to spend with God and remember his grace. Discover how rest fuels our joy and confidence in God's sovereignty as we learn to depend on him, and not our own efforts, and are refreshed by the power of the Holy Spirit. Adam Mabry shows us how rest helps us make space for relationships, shared experiences and moments to remember; how it liberates us from the pressure of self-reliance; how it gives us a chance to think and reflect; and how it stops us from burning out. Finally, this book casts a realistic vision for rest that is less rule and more rhythm-less onerous restriction and more liberating art form. Adam Mabry helps us to learn the 'art of rest' with some practical suggestions. The world never stops. But we need to. And as Christians we can by having faith to hit pause and experience the rich rewards of God-given rest.
