Finding Rest When the Work Is Never Done

Summary: One of the Top 10 Books I've read in my life!
Review: I read this book about a year ago and it really helped to change my life for the better. Being employed in High Tech I'm use to the 60+ hour work weeks. Trying to balance a career, family, home schooling, religious activities and recreation is a real challenge. This book helped to bring some real balance into my life. The issues contained here are life changing. At present I'm preparing to use this material for a 3-day men's retreat.

The author first reviews why a weekly day of rest is important: physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. God created the 7-day week, and He designated one day to rest. The consequences of going against these principles are dangerous to ones physical, mental and spiritual health. The author gives numerous examples to demonstrate these adverse consequences. He then outlines a strategy for integrating these principles back into our lives. Simple but profound. Well worth reading and applying to your life.
