Opis

Many Christians do not rest well for the best of reasons-a desire to be a good steward, a zeal in serving God, a sense of urgency and of the shortness of life. But neglecting rest always costs more than you save. You, your family, your church and your job will all suffer for it. You cannot cheat on rest. Proper rest begins with understanding what rest is not. Rest is not work. Rest is not idleness. Rest is not optional. Rest is not "unspiritual." And rest is not specified under the New Covenant as it was under the Old Covenant. What is it? Rest is a reflection of the image of God. Rest is a blessing from God. Rest is a means to glorify God. Rest is refreshment from work. Rest is a multiplier of work. Such distinctions become clear as the theme of rest is traced through the Bible in the first section of the book. Upon this foundation, the second section provides practical observations about the dynamics of rest and the unique challenges of our time. The final section of the book illustrates the practice of rest. And whether you buy one or not, you should enjoy reading about the author's cabin experiences.
