Synopsis

If you thought that–after believing in Christ–your salvation was then up to you, be prepared for a surprise. The Gospel 'is not a proposition, but an announcement’ and this book unpacks the wonder of its message. David Hewitt is the director of a contemporary church called Wellsprings Community, based in Newcraighall, Edinburgh, UK.

He writes, 'I discovered that there were other perspectives on the ‘finished work of the Cross’ that go back to the early Church Fathers. The Gospel message has been distorted at various times in history as one emphasis or another has been brought to bear, particularly in the last two centuries. When I delved deeper into teaching on the Trinity and the vicarious work of the Son of God, it was as if a weight lifted off my shoulders. Ever since, I have found that an understanding of the unrelenting, outrageous grace and goodness of God rings true in the core of my being. The Father is like the portrait Jesus gives us in Luke 15–the shepherd who goes after the lost sheep until he finds it, the woman who diligently recovers the lost coin and the father who, with lavish kindness, restores the undeserving son into the family home–and Jesus and the Father are one!'

David Hewitt, with profound simplicity, explores how our innermost longing is not for mere stasis but an ek-stasis: we have already been carried home, even carried out of ourselves … Home has come to us. John Crowder (New Mystics)

Ultimate Rest is an invitation to metanoia, to theosis, to sharing in the divine life. There is grace available in the pages of this book—grace to experience abundant life, community, inner freedom and rest. Jason Clark (Rethinking God with Tacos podcast)

There is so much here to enrich your spiritual life and liberate your soul in the experiential freedom that is given to us in the gospel. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to understand what the Christian faith is all about or to go deeper in knowing Divine Rest. Paul Golf (Champions of Hope)
