I am reviewing a copy of Rest and War through Thomas Nelson and Netgalley:

Rest and War is a perfect book for the times we live in!

Rest and War  reminds us that we need to struggle well. We need to fight for progress.  It is important we know who fought for us.

We are reminded we 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 & War is a field guide for the spiritual life;, a book of ancient methods of transformation transposed into a modern key.   Rest and War was borne out of pastor Ben Stuart’s personal life-experiences and decades in ministry, Rest & War offers biblical and practical guidance for.

Battling what’s holding you back while building what will propel you forward?  You will be able to trade the  patterns of thinking that diminish intimacy with God for ones that encourage it.  Fighting sin and cultivating an environment that allows you to flourishDesigning your everyday schedule based on your God-given purposes to bring moremeaning 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?

I give Rest and War five out of five stars!

Happy Reading!
