Do you feel overwhelmed and overcommitted before even getting out of bed in the morning? Are you weary from the hustle of life and from the disquiet of your own heart? What if you could learn to rest and find peace amid a world that never stops?

In Return to Jesus, blogger Jen Thompson invites us to return to the One who gives us lungs to breathe and eyes to see all the beauty, heartache, and wonder that can be found in a single day. Using personal stories and scriptures, Jen offers guidance on how to disrupt the patterns and rhythms of life and embrace an eternal perspective that calls us out of the constant demands of our schedules, our time, our emotional capacity, and the expectations of the world pressing in.

With new ways to engage with Jesus throughout the day, along with prayers and questions for reflection, Return to Jesus helps you find a more restorative rhythm in your current season of life, no matter what that season holds.
