Minister or not EVERYONE should read this book

Jesus stopped to set and refill with God, despite the demand. You can too. You don't just have His permission, it is a command. Be still. Sit with Him.

Really inspirational. Great to read a book that encourages rest not constant work, serving, constantly availing yourself to ‘doing good’. Surprisingly engaging and inviting.

Even if you aren't clergy or a caregiver, Rev. Jones's book provides so much insight into how to reach that place of calm within yourself and invaluable measurements to know if you are close to reaching that place. I wish I had read this when I was taking care of my mother. But even now after her passing, this book renews my soul. His wit and humor tears down the walls and motivates the reader to do more. This book is a must-read. Bro. Kirk, you've done it again!
