All Who Are Weary

Have you felt worn down by the world? In All Who Are Weary, Sarah J. Hauser helps you find true rest by letting go of the burdens you were never meant to carry.

No Condemnation

In just over 150 pages, this book is a testimony of God’s faithfulness and a comforting source of biblical truth. Hauser shares her own story of depression and grief, writing to you as a friend who has been in dark places before. The book revolves around finding rest, with topics ranging from feelings of worthlessness to worry, and insecurity to insignificance. She is open and vulnerable while giving us God’s Word.

I was most moved to read in Chapter 3 about condemnation. Hauser shares a story about her visit from the Department of Children and Family Services, and an accident that caused her to receive a “Notification of Suspected Child Abuse and/or Neglect Document.” While this trial would eventually pass, the condemnation that Hauser felt could have stayed with her. But she shares how she found rest in the grace and forgiveness of God, knowing that the allegations against her were not true, and that God would be faithful even when we can’t understand his ways.

Come to Jesus

I was challenged in Chapter 7, where Hauser speaks on comparison. While she mainly shares the trappings that come with being a writer, she also shows that we can compare ourselves in sufferings as well as in our sins. With the help of the Holy Spirit and some choice words from Paul in Philippians 3, she shows how we can fix our eyes forward instead of looking at the others on our sides. Serving becomes a joy, and we can celebrate as Jesus is championed by others.

Personal and inviting, this book is a gripping read on the goodness of God even when we feel weary. Come to Jesus and find your rest.
