“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.”
Matthew 11:28-30 - The Message
Matthew 11:28-30 - The Message
Emily Freeman's book Simply Tuesday is an invitation to live in Matthew 11:28-30. She gently leads her reader through the process of recognizing some of our common burdens and relationship barriers and ridding them from our lives. Her honesty and venerability make this a safe experience that offers relief and hope and rest. There are so many nuggets of wisdom in each chapter that I am still contemplating the content. I believe it will be a book that I return to every so often so as to remind myself or learn to a greater degree how to live in the small, the simple and the easy yoke.
I was fortunate to receive an advanced reader copy to preview. The book is available for pre order at a discounted price at the time I am writing this. Distribution starts August 15, 2015. Here is the link to Amazon if you are interested: http://www.amazon.com/Simply-Tuesday-Small-Moment-Living-Fast-Moving/dp/0800722450 I highly recommend you read this and that you do it slowly.
