Towards Rest

God calls individuals and communities alike into rest. More than a mere afternoon nap, rest is a holy orientation and divine chronology that completes life as we know it. Just as God rests, we rest with God. This book is meant to move us towards rest, into recovering its wisdom and consequence in our lives.
