Sacred Rest: Finding the Sabbath in the Everyday

If only there were more hours in a day . . .

Your to-do list is beyond taming, and your commitments are unavoidable. How could you allow yourself to rest in busy times like these? What would rest even look like in your life?

Author Cheryl Wunderlich knows these questions well. After years caught up in the whirlwind of family life, motherhood, work, and ministry, she couldn’t imagine allowing rest for herself—until cancer forced her to stop.  In her crushing battle with exhaustion, she began to hear God’s still, small voice inviting her to hope, be restored, and to find deep soul-quenching rest in Him. God’s rest was her way back to life.

These 100 devotions offer prayers, Scripture verses, personal insights, and biblical perspectives on God’s loving gift and command to us: Rest. Be still. You can experience both rewarding work and rejuvenating rest. Accept God’s invitation, and taste the welcome relief of a life balanced in His rest.

Cheryl has a heart for ministering to women and has served as a Bible teacher, speaker and one-on-one mentor for the past 20 years. As a three-time cancer survivor, she has learned how to draw near to God and cling to His Word in the trials of life. Building upon these life lessons, she has authored several Bible studies. She desires to encourage others no matter where they are in their spiritual journey, a passion that has taken her across the globe to minister to the people of Nepal. A stay-at-home mom, Cheryl resides in Portage, Michigan, with her husband, daughter and Bernese mountain dog, Oakley. She always keeps the door open for her two college-age sons who re-appear occasionally with loads of laundry looking for a home-cooked meal.
