Even God Rested - Softcover

To women who run, work, and play so hard that the concept of rest isn't even on their long-range to-do list, author Kim Thomas extends an invitation to check out God's heart on this timely topic. She says, "Sabbath rest is a lost concept and a fading art. And our lack of it has begun to cost us. We are tired, guilty, and undernourished spiritually and emotionally. But by allowing time in our schedules for Sabbath rest -- a time to pause, to catch our breath, to de-stress -- we can be restored and refreshed."Kim encourages readers by reminding them that the idea of a regular time of rest did not occur with burned-out, overworked people who desperately needed a break. It began with the Creator. After a time of creating, the God who made all and is in all took a day of rest from His labor.Even God Rested presents things we need to rest from as well as things we need to feast on. Readers will discover how to rest from busyness, noise, striving, and anxiety and feast on delight, beauty, creativity, and silence. Readers will also revel in remembering that we were created in the image of God. And as His image bearers, we can respond without guilt to the ancient and faithful whisper, "Come and rest."
