by Don Colbert

START TODAY ON A NEW LIFE PLAN—ONE FILLED WITH VITALITY AND ROOTED IN A RESTFUL LIFE.

We live in a fast-paced society in which nobody seems to have enough time. More than half of all American 
adults suffer from insomnia.  And an estimated fifty million to seventy million Americans live on the brink of 
mental and physical collapse due to a lack of sleep.  In one year alone about forty-two million sleeping pill 
prescriptions were filled for American adults and children. Ultimately, this lack of sleep is taking a toll on our
health and happiness.  

If your current pace of life has left you feeling exhausted, depleted, and defeated,  rest assured that there
is more for you.  If you are struggling to find balance and rest, THERE’S HOPE!

Too much god, not enough medical/health advice.

Also, did anyone else find it weird that when he told the story, at the start of the book, of the father (Bill) who’s family was breaking apart and made a point that one of the father’s sons “became a homosexual and contracted AIDS”? Like this was a direct result of Bill sacrificing his family to climb the corporate ladder. That really set a distasteful tone for the book.

I forced myself to persevere through this book, trying to extract the medical science and health advice (which is certainly there) but when I reached chapter 8 and “Find Your Rest in God” with a stack of prayers, well geeezzz, that’s when i hit critical mass.

If you’re a god loving (or is it fearing?) person then you’ll get a healthy balance between god and health advice in this book. If don’t believe in god and have been fooled by the cover, then it will be hard to not throw this in the bin.

Off to the thrift shop you go!

My first reaction was surprise by low reviews for this book, but I can see where some people might be caught off guard from the title to the actual contents. It is from an extreme Biblical perspective. As a believer, it was a nice surprise. I picked this up at the library, not even realizing the author was a Christian. I felt like it offered a lot of Biblical encouragement about sleep and rest, along with practical solutions to try.
