Jesus says, “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matt 11:28)
Author Dai Hankey is a church planter in Cardiff and founder of Red Community, a Christian charity that fights human trafficking in Wales. Speaking from a personal experience of burnout, he comes alongside weary Christians to explore what it looks like in practice to really lean on Jesus and enjoy his rest.
This positive and encouraging book takes readers on a hopeward journey with Jesus from despondency to joy. They will discover how Jesus can restore and sustain them, and they will be re-energized to carry on serving him in ...a joyful and manageable way.
This is a great book to give Christians who feel weary, overwhelmed, stressed, or discouraged.

This books presents the Gospel to the weary and burdened in a brief but beautiful way. Great example of why lots of different people should write books - it wasn't academic in feel but deeply personal - I greatly appreciated that. Recommended for those in a difficult season or preparing for one.
When I first seen this advertised I knew it was a book I needed to read... and soon. I've not long finished it and I found it so helpful and insightful. It was easy to read as the chapters were not too long and I could really relate to the author's experience. The prayers helped me to engage with God throughout the book and the questions were helpful to reflect on what had just been read and to process a way forward

This book is raw, powerful, and rich in gospel truth. It is one man’s testimony from the pit of defeat to the feet of the One who says, “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matt 11:28). It is a book brimming with hope and through seven chapters guide you on how to: come to Jesus, receive from Jesus, abide in Jesus, feast on Jesus, grow in Jesus, walk with Jesus, and run to Jesus.
It is a book that truly blessed me and encouraged me. Highly recommend!
