Rediscovering Rest

This devotional brings Scripture into daily life and encourages a sabbatical return to rest. Theological insights, reflection questions and space for journalling elevate this resource from a quote-based calendar to an opportunity for spiritual renewal over 30 dedicated days. Rediscovering Rest is for busy Catholics who are dealing with the demands of work and family and want to preserve and nurture their faith beyond the seasonal highlights of the liturgical year. Each day includes a Scripture passage, a reflection by the author, questions to contemplate and space for journalling.

Topics covered include:

• Rest as peace of body, mind and soul
• Rest during difficult times
• When prayer feels like work
• Technology and rest
• Slowing down as a lifestyle
• The Sabbath
• Beyond stress management
• Practising the presence of God
• The true meaning of peace
• and more

Sometimes the idea that you need a book about rest can feel overwhelming in itself. But Hannah Chartier’s Rediscovering Rest makes it really manageable. Each day’s reading is so doable, with simple prayer prompts and practical questions that help you take small, bite-sized steps toward real rest. Chartier approaches rest from many different angles, but always in a way that feels practical and achievable. It’s a gentle thirty-day invitation to begin putting everyday ways of resting in the Lord into practice. - Angèle Regnier, Co-founder of Catholic Christian outreach, inspirational speaker and author.
