Using personal stories and scriptures, Jen offers guidance on how to disrupt the patterns and rhythms of life and embrace an eternal perspective that calls us out of the constant demands of our schedules, our time, our emotional capacity, and the expectations of the world pressing in.

With new ways to engage with Jesus throughout the day, along with prayers and questions for reflection, Return to Jesus helps you find a more restorative rhythm in your current season of life, no matter what that season holds.
