What keeps you up at night? Have you ever been afraid to fall asleep? Do you toss and turn when you sleep?
Even if you managed to get six, seven, or eight hours of sleep last night, did you rest well? Were you able to shut off all your thoughts before shutting your eyes? Does worry, stress, anxiety, or fear prevent you from sleeping well?
What if you knew how to get the best rest of your life?
Dr. Evonne Thompson's book offers a solution for the weary and restless. Truth is, too many people-including God's people-don't get adequate rest, particularly amid the political and societal turmoil in today's world.
Can You Sleep Like This? In the Rest of God is an in-depth study that examines rest as a spiritual discipline-a requisite for how believers should respond and posture themselves, especially in seasons of difficulty, uncertainty, or weariness.
You'll learn how to:
- Discover what keeps you from resting in God.
- Apply five ingredients for establishing rest in your regular routine.
- Reflect on and respond to what you have learned, and rest at the end of each chapter.
Sharing witty anecdotes coupled with sound, exegetical treatment of the Scriptures, Dr. Evonne has written a must-read, must-apply guide for believers who find themselves striving within their own strength to sleep well, and struggling to truly rest in God.
