Hi, I'm Susie Larson.

Thanks for listening to the podcast of Susie Larson Live.

This is an encore presentation of Susie Larson Live.

Welcome to Susie Larson Live. Always honored to get to spend this time with you.

In fact, I look forward to bringing you conversations every single day that hopefully

inspire you in your faith walk, that deepen your understanding of God's word and that

heightens your awareness of his very real

presence in your life. Well, my guest today writes this, rest is not for weaklings.

Hollowing out space for rest is actually work. Finding time for rest is the hands and

feats of the promises that we long to claim. It means saying no. It means having limits with

ourselves. It means having limits with ourselves. It means having limits

with others. It takes courage to rest in the midst of an outcome-driven society. It takes strength

to walk away from good in pursuit of the better. Healing occurs when we allow ourselves the time,

space, and grace to be in the presence of God in the middle of our busy lives. I'm so excited about today's

conversation. Dr. Sandra Dalton Smith joins me today to talk about her important book. We've talked

about it before, but I want to say it's been at least a year. And this is something I feel like

we should revisit at least once a year, if not more. Her book is titled Sacred Rest,

recover your life, renew your energy, restore yourew Your Energy, Restore Your Sanity.

And this is a best-selling book.

We've got four copies of this beautiful hardcover book, and the producers are commenting how gorgeous the cover was, and even how much more wonderful the content within the cover is.

So I love to get a copy in your hands.

I pray that they land in exactly the right hands at the right time.
