Are you tired and worn out from ministry? Isn't Jesus' burden supposed to be light? In the pressure-producing machine of our chaotic world, Jesus' words of rest don't often touch our lives. As ministry leaders, we know a lot about biblical rest, yet we don't often experience it. The ancient practice of sabbath provides ample wisdom on how to enter into rest in Christ. Sabbaticals is a guide showing us how to implement Sabbath principles into a sabbatical as well as into the ebb and flow of our entire lives. https://www.amazon.com/Sabbaticals-How-Ministry-before-Breaks/dp/1732055262/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=9781732055261&qid=1630327045&s=books&sr=1-1
