Living From Rest: A Whole-Life Guide for the New Testament Believer

The Christian life is a response to a finished work: grace received, not performance offered.Many believers live crisis to crisis, waiting on the next rescue rather than walking in settled purpose. Living From Rest is a whole-life guide for the believer who wants to be established and to grow, learning to live from what God has already done rather than for what they hope to earn.In forty short chapters it moves through the whole arc of discipleship: the foundations (who God is, the gospel, salvation, a better covenant), the first practices of faith (prayer, the Word, the church, baptism, the Lord's table), growth in the walk (rest, sanctification, the Spirit, forgiveness, the captured mind), honest questions (suffering, the resurrection, the deity of Christ, Genesis, the narrow way), and the settled, content, and sent life that flows from grace.The destination is not a trouble-free life but a settled one: contentment in any situation through Christ, and from that ground the freedom to walk into the good works God prepared. Warm, plain, and unhurried, it keeps grace and reverence together: assurance that never becomes presumption, and awe that never becomes dread.Each chapter stands on its own and ends ready for reflection, with group questions and a Scripture index, making the book equally suited to personal reading, discipleship, and small groups.
