Rest is a crucial yet often elusive element in life. It is distinct from a mere vacation. Its spiritual significance is rooted in the Sabbath tradition throughout Scripture. In Jubilee: A Sacred Pause, Rev. Dr. Loretta F. Baker covers a diverse biblical perspective on rest, including promised rest, rest in safety, rest amidst conflict, and eternal rest.
Engage with the 52 selected scripture passages from Genesis to Revelation.
Explore various dimensions of rest at their own pace.
Consider personal benefits from rest.
Identify obstacles to their own spiritual "Jubilee."
Accept Jesus' invitation to find rest for the soul.

Rest is more than sleep; it is sacred alignment with God’s rhythm of grace. In Jubilee Devotions, Rev. Dr. Loretta Faye Baker invites you on a 7-day journey through the biblical foundation of rest and renewal. Drawing from Leviticus 25 and other passages, this devotional helps you release striving, embrace peace, and rediscover joy in the presence of God.
