Summary

Read by the author.

Struggle well. Fight for progress. Know the one who has fought for you.

You don’t have to live in this world long before discovering that the pursuit of intimacy with God occurs within the context of adversity. It is a fight. Yet it is a fight in which our King has won the decisive victory! You have been set free...into a raging battle!

But there’s good news: Your struggles do not mean you’re doomed, rather they’re actually a sure sign that you are alive. Now you must learn to struggle well, for Jesus did not free you from the fight, he freed you for the fight.

Rest and War is a field guide for the spiritual life; a book of ancient methods of transformation transposed into a modern key. Borne out of Pastor Ben Stuart’s personal life-experiences and decades in ministry, Rest and War offers biblical and practical guidance for:

  • Battling what’s holding you back while building what will propel you forward
  • Trading patterns of thinking that diminish intimacy with God for ones that encourage it
  • Fighting sin and cultivating an environment that allows you to flourish
  • Designing your everyday schedule based on your God-given purposes to bring more meaning into your routines

God has called you into the good fight of life; step into it boldly, strategically. Flee evil and pursue intimacy with your Creator. Uproot what is broken and cultivate what is life-giving. Make war on what is destructive, and rest in the God who loves you.

Are you ready to walk elegantly through the battlefield of life?

Discussion questions are available in the audiobook companion PDF download.

Critic reviews

Rest and War: Rhythms of a Well-Fought Life, is a breath of fresh air for our generation. His practical and encouraging words help us all learn how to better cultivate true intimacy with Jesus as we navigate the complexities of our daily lives. --Sadie Robertson Huff, Author, Speaker, and Founder of Live Original
One of the most common answers I hear when I ask someone 'How are you?' is, 'I'm tired.' It reveals how the pace of our world is often at war with the steadfast way of living that Jesus invites us to. Rest and War is a book that intentionally examines and practically equips you to live out the rhythms of Jesus in our modern-day world. --Kyle Idleman Bestselling author of not a fan and One at a Time
We've all felt battle-weary and discouraged at different times throughout our lives as Christians. Ben Stuart knows what this feels like and teaches readers to know the right time to rest and the right time to war with Jesus by our side. In Rest and War, you'll find the companion you've been waiting for as you look to honor God with the way you spend your days and mental energy. Life may not always be easy, but this book will help you learn to live your one life well! --Lysa TerKeurst, #1 New York Times bestselling author and president of Proverbs 31 Ministries

I never tire of listening to Ben

I've been listening to Ben Stuart's messages on YouTube for several years now and I never tire of listening to him. I come from a very legalistic background and the way Ben talks about the love and grace of God is so new to me and such a balm for a very tired soul. This book contained many of the messages I have loved watching from Ben and I enjoyed every minute of it. I love the way Ben narrates his words with such animation and passion. I'm looking forward to his next audiobook! Thank you Ben.
