I value friends who speak hard truths into me while praying peace and blessing over me. Jami Amerine is one such friend to me! As you read the following pages filled with what her own heartache, faith journey, and research has taught her, I imagine Jami will become a truth-speaking, peace-praying friend of yours too! In Rest, Girl, Jami helps weary women like us to finally understand why we have never truly been at rest, even though we love God and trust His promises. Via her trademark mix of wit and humor, you’ll come to see that chronic unrest happens whenever our words and thinking do not line up. Allow Jami to show you how true rest can be your reality going forward whenever you take God at His Word; receiving His love over the fears and lies that have kept your mouth and mind wound up and misaligned for years.

What would it feel like if the rumbling in your heart stilled like the storm Jesus spoke to? What if your shoulders lowered out of your ears? What if your mind stopped racing? You would feel the rest Jesus promised. Jami repeatedly points us back to Christ as we wrestle with what leaves us exhausted and stressed. It’s time rest in the blessing. Read on, dear one!

We tend to forget how important rest is in this crazy, mixed up culture we live in, but we’ve never needed to understand it more than we do now. In Jami Amerine’s thought-provoking new book, Rest, Girl, she shares powerful strategies for rest that can transform our lives and our world if we put them into practice. Filled with deeply honest and humorous stories, biblical truth, and valuable life applications, Jami’s newest book will help you maneuver through life’s most difficult challenges with true love, grace, and beautiful, peaceful rest.
– Kate Battistelli, author of The God Dare, co-host of The Mom to Mom Podcast Like Jami, I have struggled with a “What If Ugh” mindset, assuming the worst and rehearsing hurts, which has resulted in unrest. After reading Rest, Girl I am consciously choosing to adopt a “What If Wow” mindset, asking myself, “What if this goes well? What if there is no longer a disconnect between what I profess and how I live? What if it is possible to daily embrace the Good News of the Gospel and walk in the freedom and peace Jesus died to give us?” Rest, Girl will make you think and it will stretch you, while simultaneously inviting you to rest in the goodness of God. . .not buts.
