Finding Peace in the Name of God - From Burnout and Anxiety to Stillness, Healing, and the Presence of God #999346

You were not built for this pace. And somewhere beneath all the noise, you already know it.

You wake up tired. You pray in passing. You sit at the dinner table but your mind is three days ahead. The people you love most have your time but not your attention. The faith you built your life around is still there, but the warmth inside it has quietly, almost imperceptibly, gone cold.

This is not a spiritual crisis. It is a structural one. And it has a remedy older than every productivity strategy, wellness trend, and self-help framework the modern world has placed in your hands.
The remedy is rest. Sacred, intentional, God-designed rest.

In Embracing Peaceful Life in the Name of God, author Caleb Stillwater draws on Scripture, neuroscience, and the wisdom of the contemplative tradition to show you exactly why the life you are living is costing more than you realize, and what becomes possible when you finally, deliberately, stop. Through gripping real stories, theological depth, and practices you can begin this week, this book guides you from chronic exhaustion to genuine restoration, from performing your faith to inhabiting it, from the family you manage to the family you actually love.

You will discover why the Sabbath is not a rule to obey but a gift addressed specifically to you. Why stillness is not emptiness but the only place where genuine encounter with God becomes available. Why the anxiety driving your busyness cannot be outrun, only surrendered. And why one protected day each week can rewire the remaining six in ways that no amount of effort ever managed.

This book will not ask you to do more. It will give you permission to do the one thing that changes everything: stop.

Every chapter closes with a concrete practice, honest reflection questions, and a prayer for the week ahead. Thousands of readers have reported sleeping better, praying more genuinely, and showing up more fully for the people who need them most.

The still waters are real. The shepherd knows where they are.
