In Sacred Rest, Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith, a board-certified internal medicine doctor, reveals why rest can no longer remain optional. Dr. Dalton-Smith shares seven types of rest she has found lacking in the lives of those she encounters in her clinical practice and research-physical, mental, spiritual, emotional, sensory, social, creative-and why a deficiency in any one of these types of rest can have unfavorable effects on your health, happiness, relationships, creativity, and productivity.

By combining scientific research with personal stories, spiritual insight, and practical next steps, Sacred Rest gives the weary permission to embrace rest, set boundaries, and seek sanctuary without any guilt, shame, or fear.
A weaving of biblical insight, behavioral science, and personal reflection prompts, Being Fully Known tackles the negative self-talk and limiting beliefs that leave women stuck in lives that are not their own. The world constantly pressures us to do. God continually invites us to be. In this freeing, biblically based book, Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith writes to women who are holding themselves back because they fear vulnerability or rejection. Using her background as a physician, spiritual mentor, and coach, Dr. Saundra helps us bridge the disconnect between the way we want to express our true selves and the beliefs keeping us in fear-based living. Structured with the option to be used as part of a 21-day fast, Being Fully Known blends Scripture, science, and story to offer insight into how we can: Embrace the fullness of our identity apart from our assumed roles or expected contributions Overcome the mental barriers that cause us to seek accomplishment over contentment Experience greater joy in our relationships, career, and creative expression Reconnect with the courage to live into what God sees in us Discover where we naturally fit rather than forcing ourselves to fit in Being Fully Known is a journey of God-awareness, self-acceptance, and the fulfillment found in knowing you are seen and understood. Step into your God-given, joy-filled identity as you follow the mentoring of the Holy Spirit through this life-changing guide to being over doing.
