The Weekly Rest Project: A Challenge to Journal, Reflect, and Restore

by Zondervan

Step into a place of rest to restore your weary soul and your anxious mind.

When was the last time you truly felt rested in your body and in your soul? Do you long to step away from your worries and overwhelm and let God restore your soul? Rest is one of God's greatest gifts. The Weekly Rest Project is a guided journal that offers mindful reflections and inviting questions to guide you back into a rhythm of life-giving rest with God. With beautifully illustrated journaling pages, you can make space for rest and find God's restorative peace all year long.

Each week includes:

A biblical theme to focus on—including rhythms of rest, Sabbath, prayer, sleep, and joyful play
A powerful Bible verse to help you reflect and meditate
Journaling prompts and space to respond—to help you honestly take stock of the role rest plays in your life and allow you space to work through hurry, overwhelm, and chaos to find rest
This 12-month journal:

Showcases beautiful photography and calming colors to help you enter a place of rest and reflection
Has a ribbon marker so you never lose your place
Is perfect for a self-purchase, quiet time, or Bible study groups
Makes a wonderful gift for birthdays, holidays, or when you can sense a friend or family member is weary and in need of encouragement and rest.

Reviews

[Leslie Weber · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book is wonderful. It helped me really pause and reflect, and asked some really great questions.
Its also very visually appealing

[Cindy Davis- Cindy's Book Corner · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is very pretty. I think it misses the mark by jumping right into the weekly rest project without any type of explanation on what that means or how to use the book. I guess it is understood that you will read the brief passage and then reflect on the questions for the next week. There is not enough there to need a week to think about or incorporate.
