Congratulations on your upcoming publications! It's interesting that the main theme of renewal is rest, isn't it? God always points us to rest in Him, and He will renew our strength.

Thank you, Lynn. Yes, I was fascinated to see how many times He led me to “rest” in connection with renewal. I believe the catalyst for renewal IS rest in Him. We do not need to strive; we simply surrender to His working in and through us.
