"Choosing Rest", by Sally Breedlove. All I could remember of the author's name was the S and B, and that the last name was a compound word. ;-) No wonder I couldn't find it!
A couple things that stood out to me from this book:
(a man who had lost his wife, daughter and mother in a car wreck)"the quickest way for anyone to reach the sun and the light of day is not to run west, chasing after the setting sun, but to head east, plunging into the darkness until one comes to the sunrise."
and also - the difference God's true rest and our "rest"
"Recreation is the state of being re-created. It is something we do or choose that fills our soul and body so that we are stronger and richer as a result. Recreation nurtures us. Amusement, on the other hand, literally means 'to not think'. When we choose amusement we shut down, we disengage. Even more pointed is the ancient meaning of amusement; "to deceive".
