Resumen del Editor

Read by the author.

Struggle well. Fight for progress. Know the one who has fought for you. 

You don’t have to live in this world long before discovering that the pursuit of intimacy with God occurs within the context of adversity. It is a fight. Yet it is a fight in which our King has won the decisive victory! You have been set free...into a raging battle! 

But there’s good news: Your struggles do not mean you’re doomed, rather they’re actually a sure sign that you are alive. Now you must learn to struggle well, for Jesus did not free you from the fight, he freed you for the fight.

Rest and War is a field guide for the spiritual life; a book of ancient methods of transformation transposed into a modern key. Borne out of Pastor Ben Stuart’s personal life-experiences and decades in ministry, Rest and War offers biblical and practical guidance for:

• Battling what’s holding you back while building what will propel you forward
• Trading patterns of thinking that diminish intimacy with God for ones that encourage it
• Fighting sin and cultivating an environment that allows you to flourish
• Designing your everyday schedule based on your God-given purposes to bring more meaning into your routines

God has called you into the good fight of life; step into it boldly, strategically. Flee evil and pursue intimacy with your Creator. Uproot what is broken and cultivate what is life-giving. Make war on what is destructive, and rest in the God who loves you.

Are you ready to walk elegantly through the battlefield of life?

Discussion questions are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

A practical guide on how to walk through temptation

I love Ben’s preaching, so I am so happy to hear him actually read this! What a good word on how to see a new perspective on dealing with temptation. I love the stories, the analogies, and parallels he draws to make things make since. So much good wisdom in here, I can’t wait to share it with friends.

My first audiobook and I loved it!

I like the way the author interconnected the stories with the main topic at hand and how he recalled details of previous chapters when needed, keeping them short and sweet. My favorite part was when he speaks about the spirit, the breath and the wind coming from the same Hebrew word and how he describes it's references in the Bible and that view of Jesus bringing back what was lost in the garden brought tears of joy and a new fresh way to look up at my hero!

Ben Stuart - Master Communicator

I’ve listened to Ben Stuart for years. He declares truth. And he takes this vital message for this season of our world, and communicates as no one else can. Thank you Ben Stuart. You have mentored me for years without even knowing it. Thank you for speaking truth, encouragement, and wisdom into the trials of this season of my life.

A Helpful Resource for Winning the War with Temptation

Ben’s book is inspiring, entertaining, biblical, life-related and so very practical. I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone who wants to live a life of freedom over the self-defeating habits and hang-ups that tend to keep us stuck.

Needed to read this book in this moment as I take on a mountain before me. Thanks for a well written and Holy Spirit inspired guide!

Just wow…

First time to write a review. I wi likely read this book a few times. I listened to it on audible as I worked out often. I relied on it’s material as it pointed to Jesus and His ultimate strength. In his wisdom and grace, He gives us rest for a battle that He will ultimately win using… even us even me.

Great Read!!!!
