From The REST of Your Life: Discovering God’s Rest in a Driven, Demanding, Distressful World... “From the beginning of creation, we’re given the example of God-at-rest. Why? Was he tired from forming everything out of nothing? Did he need a break from divine demands? Did he take a day off from being God and let the earth chill-out after creation? I don’t think so... In fact, God rested after creation, because his work was complete. It was a done deal! Biblical rest doesn’t mean comfort and ease, nor idleness or irresponsibility. It doesn’t necessarily require the cessation of activity, but bestows serenity and security even in the midst of strenuous activity. God’s rest doesn’t require the luxury of a settled life but rather the comfort of a secured soul.”
Mary Andrew-Dalbey holds a doctorate in Professional Psychology and a master’s degree in Nursing. As a Christian, psychologist, registered nurse, and minister’s wife, she’s acutely aware of the clinical and spiritual consequences that clients, patients, and parishioners endure under ongoing stress and compulsive striving. Her psychological and medical backgrounds, along with her ministry leadership experience, uniquely qualify her to write from this wholistic (spiritual, psychological, and physical) perspective. Moreover, she’s passionate about this topic, because she has experienced restoration from her own spiritual and emotional burnout through resting in the Lord.
