Thank you for the opportunity to read Rest Assured. Unfortunately, I did not download the book before it was archived in November 2015. I do not plan to finish the book.
This is a lovely book about how to take care of our weary souls.
And the solution is quite simple, yet needs some strength - because it is important to recognize that our busyness is yet another way how we are not in real, loving relationship with God. Better communicating with God does not need another exercise of will, another study, another guidance - it needs to invest in the relationships - in time alone, in solitude, in listening, in being with Him.
Also our lives need some self-care, including the freedom from modern technologies and the boundaries of how to set our priorities (relations, not tasks) straight - including the work and other demands. And then we can be more present in the lives of others, too.
The book is about managing our load in life better, aiming to give it its own rightful place in our lives (and it is not by far the first place!).
And all this is told warmly and pracefully - and it feels like visiting with a graceful friend, who is no to pretend everything is Facebook happy, who is not all fake smiles, but the one who wants to connect. And share some wisdom.
I felt great during these visits!
And while the tone is gentle and very helpful - yet is is not without the deep messaqge. And this message hit my home several times.
