The Way of Love: Rest: A Little Book of Guidance

Following Presiding Bishop Michael Curry's call to follow "The Way of Love: Practices for a Jesus-Filled Life" each of these seven little books will provide an entry point to the novice who wishes to learn more about how to begin a practice of turning to Christ, learning about the faith, prayer, worship, the sharing of gifts with others (bless), being a disciple (go), and rest (take time for self-care). Gleaning from the wisdom of CPI authors, each little book will offer excerpts from well-known titles already published in a short, accessible format. A brief guide that shows how this spiritual practice can enrich your life. From the beginning of creation, God has established the sacred pattern of going and returning, labor and rest. Especially today, God invites us to dedicate time for restoration and wholeness––within our bodies, minds, and souls, and within our communities and institutions. By resting, we place our trust in God, the primary actor who brings all things to their fullness. When we set aside time to rest we receive the gift of God’s grace, peace, and restoration. This series of seven Little Books of Guidance are designed for you to discover how following certain practices can help you follow Jesus more fully in your daily life.
