Towards Rest

What does God say about rest in our lives filled with constant work? In Towards Rest, Alabaster Co. helps us discover the qualities of rest for a life of faith.

Belonging and Identity

With 7 chapters fitting the 7 days we have in a week, this book gives a theology of rest that also moves you towards rejuvenation. The book helped me see the relationship that rest has with God, myself, others, and the world. To rest is to find belonging and identity in God and his family.

Calm and Serenity

Alabaster’s iconic photography is featured throughout the book, and the greens pastures, yellow flowers, grey skies, and blue oceans gave me a sense of calm and serenity. I felt connected to the God of nature, who created the concept of rest and patterned it in our world.

Freedom in Christ

In a world that rewards non-stop work, champions hustle, and desires busyness – a good word on rest is desperately needed. We can find rest in God. We are no longer slaves. We are free in Christ.
