Keri Wyatt Kent invites readers to rediscover the ancient practice of Sabbath in this practical and accessible book. Kent’s experiences as a retreat leader and a journalist collide as she offers true, interview-based stories along with scripturally based advice and guidance on how to live in a rhythm of work and rest she calls “Sabbath simplicity.” Based on what Jesus taught about Sabbath and how he practiced it, Kent explores six aspects of Sabbath as Christian spiritual practice: resting, reconnecting, revising, pausing, playing, and praying. These are the antidote to our restlessness, isolation, and our hurried lives, workaholism, and self-absorption. Living a nonlegalistic, sanely paced, God-focused life leads us to freedom and grace, joy and connection. A group study guide is included, making this book an excellent choice for small groups.

God's whispers to a mother provide answers in the middle of the chaos and noise that torment today's women. This book shows us how to listen to God's Whisper and how to know what He wants for our lives today.   We need knowledge? We listen to the whisper.  We need to be loved?  We listen to the whisper.  Rest and conditioning?  We listen to the whisper. God's Whisper gives us hope, it's refreshing and gives us life.  That is why it is so important that we pay attention to it, especially when we have the need for wisdom, love or simply emotional rest.
