Rest Assured
by Rachel Booth Smith
Do you feel heavy or anxious? Work, kids, finances, the future, the past, the state of the world can all threaten your joy, hope, and trust. Using archaeology findings, language discoveries, and biblical study, Rachel shares theologically rich insights that bring us into the rest we need, the rest we crave—the rest for which we were made. Bible study teacher and lifelong student Rachel Booth Smith helps us focus on the who (not the how) of Creation so that we can find meaning and rest for our souls.
Neighborhood Cafe Book Recommendations
Choosing a topic for your Neighborhood Cafe is different than choosing a topic for your Bible Study at church.

But don’t worry, there are countless amazing resources that will engage your neighbors!

Cutest Book Cover Ever!
A cup of sugar? Sure. A ladder or tool? All the time. But chances are, a neighbor has never knocked on your door asking to borrow a cup of hope. Or have they? Sometimes we're too busy to notice the need right next door, but it's there. My new book was written for you...
How to “Do the Thing” (and a giveaway!)
Got a goal? Need some gumption? Then you need this book. I wish Rebecca George would've written this book before I had the crazy idea to start a neighborhood Bible study. I could have used a coach like her when I had no idea where to start or what to do, when it felt...
