With the relentless pace of modern life, people have become accustomed to high mobility, near-constant change, and a widespread sense of restlessness. Finding any sense of rest can seem impossible.
Drawing from Scripture, personal anecdotes, and practical wisdom, Aimee Joseph explores the roots of internal agitation and points readers to the Source of true rest. She invites readers to move beyond the world's definition of rest, such as vacations and self-help strategies, and cultivate rhythms of renewal that align with God's design.
Made to Rest begins by examining the sources of restlessness, including control, satisfaction, and self-righteousness. It then develops a biblical understanding of rest from both theological and practical perspectives. God created us for rest that comes from a right relationship with him, and he lovingly calls his people to live with Sabbath rhythms. In a world offering fragile peace, Christ offers his followers peace that passes understanding.
With actionable steps to help busy readers incorporate rest into their daily routines, Made to Rest provides a foundation for understanding rest as a gift from God, not merely a break from work. It offers hope for readers struggling with exhaustion, anxiety, and spiritual restlessness.
