“Highly personal and full of hard-but-fair self-diagnostic questions, this devotional frames rest as freedom flowing from faith in our Creator. . . . Nelson acknowledges that resting well requires effort, but she makes a compelling case that restful refreshment from the Lord is worth it.” Alasdair Groves, Executive Director, Christian Counseling & Educational Foundation
