Rhythms of Grace: Discovering God’s Tempo for Your Life

I've never heard of Kerri Weems before but liked the title of this book and why I purchased it. I was blown away by how EXCELLENT this book is! I loved her honesty, her insight, her recommendations for how to go about finding the natural rhythms of a godly life. Many of her examples I had already incorporated into my life and they did bring an enormous amount of peace and calm. For that reason, I took her up on her other suggestions and they, also, proved to be true when practiced consistently in real life. Her whole take on the Sabbath and actually doing it changed my paradigm of rest and keeping it holy. I now look forward to Saturdays at 5pm and it has become a celebratory end of my week - a wonderful downtime to just BE - and at sundown on Sunday nights (doesn't matter what day of the week one chooses), the beginning of a new week.I read a voracious amount and there are some excellent books out there. This is one of my all-time favorites and am going to look into using it as a bible study tool. Great job Kerri!

As a completely stressed out pastor's wife, this book was invaluable to me. I didn't realize how much stress I was tolerating and how much peace I was forgoing by living life at an insane pace that God never intended for me. I have a renewed sense of lightheartedness now. It IS possible to be a lighthearted pastor's wife, and thoroughly enjoy living the dream in ministry or anything else you are called to do. I am enjoying a weekly Sabbath now, prioritizing rest, and still being productive. You don't have to burn out to be of value on this earth.Kerri is full of wisdom, and I will be reading this book again, just to go over all the things I highlighted. Although we have never met, Kerri is a treasure and so is this book!

If you are in a place of burn out or you can't keep up with the pace of life, you should read this book.Keri Weems speaks about her life in ministry and how is overtook her life. This book helps you set boundaries in the everyday life. The need to get everything done on your todo list is addressed in the form of a gas tank and how you want to arrive at home with still some gas in your tank and not being completely spent.

I greatly enjoyed the way Kerri Weems identifies our individual rhythms and how they are responsible for our patterns. She provides great insight into the topics of peace, Sabbath and practical application to developing your own "rhythm" in a busy world. I loved her simplistic methodology which I applied to my own life and found her template for time management to be very effective and easy to use.

This book is a life changing resource for any woman, especially if you have ever felt "burned out." The author shares her own thoughts and experiences in an authentic way, which we can relate to, as women. Her insight enables us to reflect on the truth from a new perspective, causing us to transform from the inside out. As you read, we are to able to develop God's rhythm of grace for our unique individual lives, so that we move forward "freely & lightly!"

I was drawn in by the title as well as a recommendation from Ann Voskamp earlier last year. This is a very practical book with key questions to consider in the quest to reset priorities in the desire to live inside ‘unforced rhythms of grace’.

As a busy woman with many "irons in the fire" I love the way Kerri Weems uses humor, seriousness, and common sense to put into prospective the things that set the Rhythms or pace of my life. Learning to recognize the pace-setters and peace-stealers has been one of the best things I've come to understand. I would recommend it to any woman in any stage or walk of life.

A very powerful book for me and very timely as I was facing a big decision. By the time I read the first few chapters and honestly answered the questions at the end of each chapter, I knew the choice I needed to make. Very practical tools yet profound and introspective and helpful.
