“My Verse of the Year- Walking on God’s Path”

by Elizabeth Zacharias | Feb 28, 2022 | Christian life, Walking in the Spirit

Earlier in the month of February, I wrote a blog post about choosing a word for the year. Another thing that some Christians do is to select a Bible verse for the upcoming year, as well. For the past two years, including this year, I chose the same verse, Ephesians 2:...

BELOVED

by Elizabeth Zacharias | Feb 14, 2022 | celebration, Christian life, Valentine's Day

This is Valentine’s Day week. Yes, I did say a week. I love Valentine’s Day. It is probably my favorite holiday. I respond to all the fuzzy feels about the day. I love to be loved and the gift-giving. It is also all about showing love to one another. If...

In the Cleft of the Rock

This past year I have made several trips to my home state of Maine. The main reason for these trips was the death of my brother and the ceremonies we had for him at different times. I visited with my mother at the same time. She is getting advanced in years and we...

WORSHIP IS MY WARSHIP

Storms happen in all our lives. Sometimes they are physical storms like hurricanes or blizzards. We in Missouri have been experiencing the aftermath of a snowstorm and arctic blast. Temperatures dropped down to a bone-chilling -14 degrees at night. In preparation for...

FEAR NOT!!

This year has been a difficult year for many people. What with the COVID-19 pandemic, lockdowns and all the extenuating circumstances related to it, many people feel anxious about the future. We cannot assemble or spend time with our friends in groups. Forced to spend...

Two Steps Forward, One Step Back

by Elizabeth Zacharias | Feb 10, 2020 | Christian life, Spiritual growth

Have you ever felt that you were in a funk? That for some reason, you felt down about yourself for no reason. When in fact, you should feel the opposite. I have found myself in just that place for the past week or two. To be truthful, I should be feeling good about...

I have known Elizabeth Zacharias and her husband, Dan, for over 20 years. I recently had the opportunity to read her new book, Created to Rest. It was an easy read, which made it easy for me to engage. It was the perfect blend of facts, scripture references, and relatable stories. I walked away wishing I could have known Aunt Jenny, and challenged to revisit the invitation to enter the Rest of the Lord. In one word Refreshing! - Missionary with Global Impact Relief

In a world full of conflict and hate, with the enemy's activities increasing daily, Created to Rest brings a refreshing encouragement to the weary Believer. Like Lot, the debauchery around us is a burden that clouds our minds at times. We forget that there is a place reserved for us, where the peace of God will forever surround us and our struggles will cease. The author of this book brings us into the rest of our Lord, giving us a brief escape from the cares of this world. This is a book well worth the time it takes to read it.

We live in a day and age where the concept of rest is misunderstood. While we all want rest, we don’t have any idea how to truly find it on our own. This book offers a solid Biblical basis for understanding the true rest offered to us through a relationship with Jesus Christ. Scripture references throughout the book make it a valuable resource for the reader who is seeking truth that is a foundation for life. The author shares from her own personal journey of learning to rest and provides encouragement for the rest-seeker. We all have a longing for peace and rest in our lives, this book points to the ONLY TRUE SOURCE of rest, a personal relationship with the Creator of the Universe!

I highly recommend this book to the tired, the restless, the seeker. I recommend it to the burned out, lonely, worn and weary one longing for answers. It’s easy and quick to read, and it will leave a lasting impact on your life!
