At least I’m planning to rest.
After 3 months of much travel all over the world and the U.S., many meetings and projects, and the June 2 Worldwide Day of Prayer, I’m ready for some rest.
So I’m at my favorite place—the beach. With intentions to rest, pray and read. And maybe a little writing.
I, however, have a long way to go when it comes to resting. REST was my “word” in 2011. I spent a lot of time reading about rest in Scripture, and in other books. I got some great insights.
So much so that I made it the theme of 2011 Worldwide Day of Prayer for Prodigals. For 11 weeks I wrote mini-devotionals about rest for last year’s Prodigal Prayer Day, and as I read over them, I realized how much I had gained from that study. Though the letters in it are written to “lovers of prodigals,” it has great help and hope for all of us who could use a little rest.
So I put the devotionals in a book—a FREE E-BOOK. I want you to have a copy. And I would love if you would send it to your friends and share it on Facebook and Twitter.
So here it is—FREE to you: Loving a Prodigal: Learning to Rest. My gift to you. For your Kindle, Reader, Computer. (Instructions included.)
So get some rest!
What about you? How have you been able to rest?

Does taking a nap count as rest? 🙂 I did get a nap today. Last week was hectic with two house guests, giving an evangelistic talk and getting my husband ready to leave for a trip, so a nap this afternoon was just what I needed.
Of course a nap is rest. Essential for survival.
I read; that’s my rest 🙂
Yep, and that is main way I am resting right now–reading.
Thank you for making this ebook available to us. I was speaking with Sus Schmitt today and she suggested I download your book. I look forward to learning more as we rest in Him.
Thanks, Monica. Sus is a wise woman.
Thank you Judy, this is an excellent heart to heart and example of your walk of rest. Sometimes I feel like I labor to enter into rest! May we all find our rest in Him – the LORD of the Sabbath no matter what we are faced with in this life.
Kimberly, I wish I always lived this rest. Thanks.
