Description
“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matt. 11:28
Women are overcommitted, overconnected, overburdened, and overwhelmed. Their lives are full, but oddly, their souls are empty. They are aching for a bold challenge—one that will bring rest to their longing souls. Rest Assured is for the daring women who truly want to disrupt their current patterns and see lasting change.
Divided into two parts, Rest Assured offers not just an intervention:
- The Badge of Busyness
- The Exhausting Pursuit of Happiness
- Tethered Souls
- Worried Sick
But also a recovery plan:
- Prioritize the One Thing Needed: Time for God
- Create Room to Breathe: Time for Solitude
- Give Yourself a Break: Time for Leisure
- Pay It Forward: Time for Others
If the soul is weary, it’s time for an intervention. Rest Assured is not a quick fix, but rather a bold challenge that aids women in identifying the negative patterns that prevent them from experiencing rest in their souls. Most importantly, it will give them the tools needed to break the cycle.
A “Rest Stop” challenge is included at the end of each chapter for use in Bible studies and book clubs. Bonus material includes a 30-Day Restitution Plan and 100 Ways to Give It a Rest.

This is a wonderful book. I absolutely loved it. The first part deals with enemies of rest like busyness stress, exhausting pursuit of happiness and tethered souls. Part two is redeeming rest. It covers prioritizing your time for God, create room to breath, give yourself leisure time and give time for others. There are also bonus material like 100 ways to Give it a rest and a thirty-day restoration. At the end of each chapter their are reflection questions. This book could actually be used as a small group study. The cover for this book is perfect. Very calming with the blues. Such a relaxing atmosphere.

Actually this is a good book for relaxing and getting away from everyday. It is reccommended for Bible Studies, but not sure how to use it for that. Did enjoy this, and would reccommend this book.

Vicki has created a true treasure in Rest Assured. She challenges you to grow, get rid of the feelings and worries that are like weights. She also shares enough of her experience to make it easier to see the places in your life where you need to make changes. Excellent read. It is on my list of top reads this year.
