Staying busy is easy. Staying well rested-now there's a challenge. Discover how understanding the 7 types of rest can help. How can you keep your energy, happiness, creativity, and relationships fresh and thriving in the midst of never-ending family demands, career pressures, and the stress of everyday life? In Sacred Rest, Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith, a board-certified internal medicine doctor, reveals why rest can no longer remain optional. Dr. Dalton-Smith shares seven types of rest she has found lacking in the lives of those she encounters in her clinical practice and research-physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, sensory, social, creative-and why a deficiency in any one of these types of rest can have unfavorable effects on your health, happiness, relationships, creativity, and productivity. Sacred Rest combines the science of rest, the spirituality of rest, the gifts of rest, and the resulting fruit of rest. It shows rest as something sacred, valuable, and worthy of our respect. By combining scientific research with personal stories, spiritual insight, and practical next steps, Sacred Rest gives the weary permission to embrace rest, set boundaries, and seek sanctuary without any guilt, shame, or fear.

In JESUS you will find your Sacred Rest
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 7 years ago
Sacred Rest is a book that does just that, offers you just that Sacred Rest. Just immediately in the forward it says, "45% of Americans say that poor or insufficient sleep affected their daily activities at least once a week. This epidemic has lead to poor job performance, depression, and overall dissatisfaction with quality of life and productivity." I found that so interesting. Does this pertain to you? This book is definitely for you, even if you don't have those symptoms you need this book. The author is not afraid to be personal which makes this book even better. The author hits on your physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects in your life and I have to tell you how wonderful you feel when you are done as she says - "This Book is like a buffet not a Happy Meal "- she really brings you closer to God with peace. I received a copy of this book from the Publisher and Netgalley; all the opinions expressed in this review are all my own.
