Sacred Rest by Saundra Dalton-Smith, MD
Reviewed by Sandra Merville Hart
Recover your life, renew your energy, restore your sanity
I purchased this book after hearing Dr. Dalton-Smith speak about rest. I realized after listening to her that most of us are living a burned-out life. Everyone needs rest but there are many types of exhaustion.
Discussed in the book are physical rest, mental rest, emotional rest, spiritual rest, social rest, sensory rest, and creative rest. What you must do to achieve each type of rest differs.
It amazed me how much there is to learn about each type. For example, physical rest can’t restore mental rest. The author offers suggestions for readers to begin the process for each one.
What an amazing, helpful book! I just finished it and have already promised to lend it out to two others.
I also suggested it to my Sunday School class as an optional study.
Recommended for exhausted, weary readers searching for rest.
