Healing Rest - by Becky Thompson (Paperback)

Do you have snack wrappers all over the backseat of your car, school papers all over your kitchen table and never-ending piles of dirty dishes and/or laundry that seem to reappear before you can make them disappear? First of all, you are not alone, Mama. And second, you need to read this book! Becky provides her readers with relatable stories of motherhood joys, trials, and even tribulations. She gently reminds us that when our humanly worldly pressures and those times when our mama soul, body, and mind aches, we need pray and "lean into Jesus to find healing rest." This book is a quick and comforting read. I related the most to her stories about pressures and anxiety that tends to pop up in motherhood from time to time. I also really enjoyed the little prayers, as well as a short list of "scriptures to pray when life feels like a lot," and the insightful affirmations at the end of each chapter. Take a break to rest and recharge in Him and treat yourself, Mama. Get yourself a giant cup of coffee, tea, or your favorite drink from Sonic and read this book. Then pass it on to a Mama friend to read!

A must read for any tired mama who wants to find rest amongst the busyness of life. I love how Becky connects with her readers as if she were sitting and talking to a friend. This book left me feeling uplifted and probably will not leave my nightstand! Becky does it again!

This was a short, uplifting read. Becky’s books are always very timely and this one isn’t an exception. I highly recommend, especially for moms who are in the thick of it and feel chronically exhausted. So so good!

I could not recommend this book more. It is the perfect read for a busy mom needing to find time for herself to rest. Highly recommend!

Such a great book by Becky!! She always makes me feel like God is speaking right to me at the exact time I needed it!

As a mom of 4 kids ages 5-12 life is busy. Balancing school, sports, and your own spiritual rest can be so hard. This book spoke to me letting me know I’m not alone. There is hope in being safely held with our Lord. Becky has a way of making you feel seen and talking to you as a friend. It’s also a great quick read which is awesome for this busy season. I pray it helps you as much as it helped my heart.

When life is hard, which is often, it is easy to feel defeated, unappreciated, and unloved. Healing Rest reminds women that they are "safely held by a good God who loves you". Each chapter provides real life stories of how the author has overcome situations in her life and motherhood journey through the power of her faith, prayer, and the healing rest that comes from knowing Jesus. Healing Rest is refreshing for the soul. This is a book I will read over and over because the biblical truths are exactly what I need after a long day of motherhood.

Oh my friend!! You need to read this book. First of all reading this is so easy because you feel like you are sitting down with Becky and you are just chatting with her. Second the content was so timely for me. The combo of the way it is written and the content was amazing and it spoke right to my momma heart. I was in love with this from the letter to the momma reading it right at the very beginning. I will leave you one quote that spoke right to my heart. "You are safely held by a good God who loves you!" Go grab this book you will LOVE it!

This book has been such a blessing. I love reading books that bring me closer to God, and this one definitely achieved that.

Healing Rest brings so much peace, strength, comfort, and rest to the mind, body and spirit. This is a must read for all mommas. The truth of putting our hope in Christ and leaning on the Lord for comfort and rest is powerful. A quick easy read that you can come back time after time.

You want to read this book. I've highlighted so many tid bits to remember for myself. Does this sound familiar to you like it did to me? "I bet you've felt nearly buried alive by the responsibilities and to-dos and demands and requests, all while saying "I'm good! What about you?" to whoever asked. <-- This is me DAILY! Why can't we just admit to ourselves sometimes that we aren't good, we are overwhelmed, we are stressed, we have anxiety and what is causing it? This book is all about reading our signs, naming it and leaning into God with those specific thoughts, because our bodies are not made for this. We were made to love and serve God. With relatable insights, scripture and prayer sprinkled throughout you get the best out of this book!

Becky reminds us that we have a God who loves us so much and wants us to experience a healing rest that only He can give

This book is nothing short of amazing. Becky writes as if she’s talking to an old friend ( YOU!). This is a much needed reminder that God meets us right where we are. He knows what we need before we even speak the words to ask Him. Buy yourself a copy and your friend a copy too! If you order before April 7, you’ll get to do a 6 weeks study of the book with more moms and even your friends!

Becky Thompson has given us a special gift with “Healing Rest”! This is the book I needed in this season of motherhood. I truly believe this book will speak to mothers of all ages and stages as they walk with Jesus in their Motherhood journey. This book is like talking to a good friend and the message is so easy to carry with you through your day. I can’t wait to gift this to Mothers in my life!

This is a read that will bless your life. And, moreover, it’s not heavy, it’s healing. Reading the book is not a chore to add to your already full to-do list, either. It feels like a conversation with a sweet friend who will sit and wait for you to cook dinner, or do a load of laundry, or help the kids, or do life.

As an anxious woman who has always struggled to “make time” for Jesus amid the lists and the busyness of life, this book was truly a game changer for me! Becky Thompson teaches about the rest that comes just from being with God - the Healing Rest that comes as we grow closer to Him. It isn’t the same as a break, or a nap, or “me time.” It is the promise that we are safe and can rest IN THE MIDDLE of the chaos, no matter the outcome, that kind of rest can heal our hearts and our minds and give our bodies the deep rest we really need. Becky’s books are all very Biblically sound and read like you are having a conversation with a good friend, and this one is no exception! If you know someone who is really needing rest (it’s not just for mommas), grab them a copy of this book! It is packed full of deep truth that is not a to-do list or step-by-step guide to feel rested - all while being an easy, short read. This is truly a valuable resource!

Oh man, this was exactly what is needed and encouraging in the moments of stress, especially as a mother and a woman. Becky draws from Scripture to illustrate what it looks like to truly rest in Jesus for healing. Excellent book

Becky shares practical ways to bring rest to your body and spirit. She declares biblical truths, shares personal stories and leaves you with hope. It's there for you momma. You just need to look to Jesus.

Becky has a wonderful way of knowing exactly what I’m struggling with and Healing Rest came out right when I was struggling with being exhausted juggling all the things. It was a great reminder of God’s presence and love for me and a reminder that God offers us rest if we allow it. Anyone struggling with exhaustion and needing peace should pick this up. It’s a quick, but satisfying read.
