Fear, anxiety, and despair are endemic even among believers.
This life of faith was not intended to be heavy.
Yet many believers are under pressure to be more, do more, and perform.
But Jesus offers something radically different.
Rest
Life feels heavy and prayer is forced and uninspired. The answer is not more spiritual disciplines, rules, and remedies. The answer is not more striving, but sweet rest.
Jesus said, "My yoke is easy and my burden is light." But "light burdens" and "easy yokes" are oxymorons. They don't exist. His burden was never about easier work or lighter schedules. He calls us to complete rest.
With grace and clarity this little book shatters the tyranny of religious performance and presents an invitation for something revolutionary--Rest.
Make no mistake. Life can be very hard. But My Burden Is Light challenges the assumption that our walk with Christ must also be a burden.
Take a break. You need it.
