The Way of Rest

De: Cheryl Scanlan

Narrado por: Cheryl Scanlan

This book is for followers of Jesus who are tired, longing for the "peace that passes understanding" or the "joy inexpressible" described in Scripture. They feel “off” in their faith. They know there is something more, but they can’t quite grasp it. They keep bumping up against themselves or others. They may feel lonely and unseen and may feel misunderstood. They long for companionship, clarity, and a way out of the weariness. They love the Lord; they love the Lord’s people, yet they're bone tired and quietly asking, “Where is this abundant life?”

The Way of Rest journey gently reminds them: it’s still here—and so is He. The Way of Rest invites listeners on a discipleship journey to live from their rest in Christ rather than striving for it. The journey begins by acknowledging spiritual weariness and inviting the listener to personally reflect on God’s first recorded question in the garden: “Where are you?”

From this starting point, listeners learn to hear and respond to God’s voice with the intended goal of de-accumulation from unnecessary burdens. The listener continues the journey deep into rest, invited to explore the secret places of their heart with the Lord, strengthening the bond between child and heavenly Father and then moves to the horizontal relationships of engaging or reengaging in community with others.

The journey begins with entering His rest and culminates in a joyful anthem of praise, as we learn to live from that rest in our Prince of Peace. Prepare to take in the breathtakingly beautiful. What we can see and experience when we are at rest is profound.
