"Take the Day Off" by Robert Morris


My review...

When I read the book description, I knew this book was one I had to read. This is such a timely book ... just the reminder I needed to hear at this point in my life. It's very hard for me to "just be" and take time for rest, but Morris pointed out things that made me realize how I need to add this to my schedule ASAP before complete burnout occurs. 

Morris's book is helpful and easy to understand. There are some chapters that I will go back over from time to time, whenever I need the reminders. The book changed my perspective on rest. It's quite different than society's misguided perception (for example, that resting - laziness). 

The foreword is by Max Lucado, another author who writes books that strike a chord with me. Scripture verses are woven throughout, along with relatable stories. 

One quote that really stuck out to me: 
"Work is not the enemy. The temptation to not rest is the enemy."

Disclaimer: I received a complimentary copy from the publisher, but I wasn't required to leave a positive review.
