Made to Rest, by Aimee Joseph

Today, Roberta talks to Aimee Joseph about her new book Made to Rest: True Peace in a World That Never Stops, available from New Growth Press publishers. Aimee Joseph helps overwhelmed, exhausted readers exchange the turmoil of chasing contentment and control for the lasting peace found in Christ. With the relentless pace of modern life, we have become accustomed to high mobility, near-constant change, and a rampant sense of restlessness. Finding any sense of rest seems impossible. Drawing from Scripture, personal anecdotes, and practical wisdom, Joseph explores the roots of our internal agitation and points to the Source of true rest. She invites readers to move beyond the world’s definition of rest such vacations and self-help strategies to cultivate rhythms of renewal that align with God’s design. Made to Rest begins by examining the sources of our restlessness (control, satisfaction, and self-righteousness) before exploring the biblical concept of rest from both theological and practical perspectives. God created us for rest that comes from a right relationship with him, and he lovingly commands us to live with Sabbath rhythms. In a world offering us fragile peace, Christ offers his followers peace that passes understanding. In a world that never stops, believers have a ready refuge in their Redeemer.

Mother of the Year, by Cheryl Esper Balcom

Today, Roberta talks to Cheryl Esper Balcom about her new book Mother of the Year. Lindy Thomas has built her life on holding everything together: her family, her faith, and her role as a devoted mother. But when her husband dies unexpectedly, the life she carefully managed begins to unravel. Determined to show up for her son, Lindy sets out alone on a cross-country road trip from Michigan to Seattle. What begins as a journey of love quickly becomes something far more complicated. A mysterious note left behind by her husband raises questions she’s afraid to ask. Her daughter is facing a private grief of her own. And somewhere between the endless highways and quiet hotel rooms, Lindy comes face to face with the limits of her control. Haunted by the past and desperate to hold her family together, Lindy is forced to confront what she’s spent a lifetime avoiding: she was never meant to carry it all. In a story marked by loss and moments of unexpected beauty, Mother of the Year explores what happens when control slips away and how God, in his grace, meets us there.

Overcomer, Overcome, by Caitlin Hawk

Today, Roberta talks to Caitlin Hawk about her new book Overcomer, Overcome: Finding Freedom from Addiction, Shame, and False Identity. One Woman's Journey from Addiction to Freedom Through Identity Transformation, Not Behavior Modification At nineteen years old, pregnant with twins, high in a parking lot, Caitlin Hawk cried out to God for the first time. In that moment, drunk and desperate, the Lord sobered her up in an instant and changed the trajectory of her life forever. Years in Secular Rehabs Changed Nothing. Religious Programs Offered Rules Without Power. From an unwed pregnancy as the product of one herself, through years of addiction, depression, suicide attempts, drug dealing, psych wards, and behavioral programs that never worked, Caitlin's story proves that true freedom comes from renewing your mind and discovering your identity in Christ, not modifying your behavior.

Winds of Grace, by Cheryl Esper Balcom

Today, Roberta talks to Cheryl Esper Balcom about her new book Winds of Grace: Losing my Father, Surrendering Control, and Growing in Faith. “The winds of grace are always blowing. It’s up to you to raise your sails.” It was her dad’s favorite quote, but now Cheryl’s beloved dad was dying, and she wondered if God’s grace would be enough to carry her through the loss and grief. “How can a word that evokes images of ballet, a word that rhymes with lace for crying out loud, be enough for me in this moment?" she writes. "How can grace be sufficient when what I want are answers, miracles?” This moving but honest memoir begins in 2005, when Cheryl experiences the first flutters of worry over her father’s ominous symptoms, which eventually lead to a cancer diagnosis. Flashing back and forth in time, from her 1970’s, John Denver-infused childhood as the daughter of Jesus Movement converts to grappling with what it means to have her own personal faith, Cheryl must come to terms with where her real security lies. As she considers her past as a reckless teen and her adult tendencies toward perfectionism, control, and legalism, she reflects on how strong grace can be—for her and for those she loves. This book is for anyone who has faced the crushing loss of a loved one and wondered if God was enough to fill the void. Cheryl’s story shows that we can’t control everything, and that’s okay. Surrendering to God’s grace is always the answer, making us stronger in the broken places.
