Review of advance copy received from Author
If you are like me, you probably feel a bit of guilt for just sitting and listening to the birds sing or the waves crash on the shore. My heart knows I am sitting in the presence of the Holy Spirit, but my brain tells me I should be "productive." Reality is that sitting at the feet of my Creator in His creation is being productive--not only productive but obedient.
In "The Pursuit of Holy Leisure," Cara invites the reader to delight and rest in the presence of God. She encourages us to not only set aside sacred moments but to view every moment as sacred and an opportunity to fellowship with our Savior. She takes the reader on a journey to discover how God created us to be in communion with Him and how that benefits us and blesses Him.
Have you ever been so thirsty you didn’t realize how much you needed water until you started drinking? That is how I feel about Cara’s book. It is like living water for your dry and parched soul. She invites you to sit with Jesus in the “cool of the day” and enjoy His presence. This is a training manual for learning how to be still, to rest, and abide in Him.
If I could give this book 10 stars, I would. I will be reading this many times over. I will also be giving this as a gift to MANY friends who are simply too busy for their own good.

Reading The Pursuit of Holy Leisure is like having a long, satisfying conversation with a wise friend. Cara Ray speaks of foundational Christian truth with clarity, common sense and uncommon sensitivity that is applicable to the daily life of all who seek to live in the grace and strength of God. Her words are fresh, but her topics are timeless. Unpacking the Bible with her own teaching and explanations from saints like Augustine, Calvin, and John Piper, The Pursuit of Holy Leisure focuses on releasing burdens and enjoying God as a soul satisfying way of life.
