Holiness in a Restless World

"The Bible is filled with stories of wandering, restlessness, dispersion, and coming home--stories in which the people of God are looking for a place to belong in God's world even as they are also invited to welcome others into God's household. In Holiness in a Restless World, the Sweedens explore the ways that Christians can pursue a holy life that is grounded in restfulness. When rest is absent from our lives, we can become unsettled and develop shortsighted notions about the nature of a holy life, but this book presents holy rest as the bedrock for faithful Christian engagement with the world"--
