About Just Rest: Receiving God’s Renewing Presence In
Review “Informative, thoughtful, inspiring, and unreservedly recommended as an individual or small group Old Testament study guide.” --Midwest Book Review“Embracing the story of the Exodus—but with a refreshing twist—Sonja Corbitt leads the reader through the strenuous desert journey with the children of Israel, showing how God dwelt with his people and cared for their every need, desiring for them to rest in his love. Using engaging personal stories, Sonja invites us to pray the scriptures as she tenderly guides us through the deserts of our own lives, taking us through dryness and desolation to a springtime of spirituality. Like the dewfall, Just Rest gently nourishes the driest of souls. A must-read for anyone who could use a little spiritual spa time!” --Kelly Wahlquist, founder of WINE: Women In the New Evangelization“The human person has a habit of avoiding two things: suffering and rest. Sonja Corbitt does a beautiful job of not only giving us a new way of understanding these things but also bringing them together in order to find joy, fullness of life, and intimacy with Christ. This book is a must for anyone who has faced or is now finding themselves in the desert. Corbitt teaches us that the Exodus wasn’t long ago but is here and now, a true gift for all of us.” --Rachel Bulman, contributor to Word on Fire Catholic Ministries and cohost of School of Humanity podcast“Having picked up Just Rest in a time of busyness and burnout, I was struck to the depths of my heart. With her usual biblical insight, Corbitt lays out why spiritual rest is more than just taking a break and invited me into the desert with her to find it. I left the book feeling renewed, refreshed, and ready to trust the God who leads his people out of bondage into the Promised Land.” --Shannon Schmidt, cohost of the Plaid Skirts and Basic Black podcast“Sonja Corbitt uses interpretations of quantum mechanics to provide a solid base for advice on how to engage with Catholic spirituality and to help us see how the science fits into our picture of the world. Often when I read a book I like very much, I think, ‘I wish I had written that.’ I’m sure I could not have written Just Rest, but I’m very glad I read it.” --Robert Kurland, writer for the Magis Center for Faith and Reason“Sonja Corbitt does not just walk us through the deserts of life; she also helps illuminate those lonely journeys with the light of grace. But then, in a surprising twist, she also puts this life and light into the context of modern science. She helps us see God’s presence in the desert and in the whole universe.” --Stacy Trasancos, author of Particles of Faith Product Description The desert wanderings of the Chosen People—and the spiritual lessons and encouragement they offer to us today—come alive in scripture teacher Sonja Corbitt’s five-week Bible study on the Exodus account.This dynamic study will help you to apply the spiritual lessons of the Exodus into your own life, identify areas of desolation and need, and better understand God’s greater purposes in times of adversity and dryness. In so doing, you will experience what it means to invite Jesus to nourish your spirit and guide you to the kingdom promised to all who enter into his rest.Breaking open both the Exodus and overview of it found in Hebrews 3–4, Corbitt shows how the event is also a powerful metaphor for the spiritual life: everything we need—spiritual, emotional, and physical rest and replenishment—is found not at the end of our journey but in the desert itself. .Everything God desires for us may be found in the “Dew of Heaven,” Jesus.Corbitt reveals that the heavenly sustenance God provided to the Chosen People in the desert is available to us today if we open ourselves to it. Whatever your questions, you will find the answers you seek as you come to understand how God delivered the Chosen People from their waywardness and blessed them with everything they needed to reach the Promised Land.
