In our relentless pursuit of doing our utmost for God, we risk forgetting the importance of rest and the wisdom that Jesus himself embodied. Jesus often demonstrated the vital principle of working from a place of rest, a concept that is essential for sustainable Christian life and work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on his extensive experience in training and mentoring across the world, Tony Horsfall reflects on the story of Jesus and the Samaritan woman to offer practical guidance for a fulfilling Christian life and work. In his writing, he encourages us to take a break and sit by the well, allowing ourselves to reflect on our ways of living and working. He suggests observing Jesus closely and learning from his example. Moreover, he encourages us to listen to the voice of the Spirit within us, at the center of our being, as it may provide us with insights that can transform our lives and sustain our ministry over the long haul.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy embracing the principles of rest and listening to the Spirit, we can find a renewed sense of purpose and vitality in our Christian journey. We can avoid the trap of burnout and exhaustion, and instead cultivate a life and work that are grounded in deep spiritual nourishment and fulfillment. As we strive to serve God with excellence and integrity, let us remember the example of Jesus and seek to work from a place of rest, allowing ourselves to be refreshed and renewed in our efforts to bring hope and transformation to the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 164g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 129 x 198 x 15 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781800392205\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eEdition number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2 ed\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tony Horsfall","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44377841991930,"sku":"9781800392205","price":7.31,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1689956014655_book.jpg?v=1690189611","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/working-from-a-place-of-rest-jesus-and-the-key-to-sustaining-ministry-9781800392205","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
