Jami Amerine

As Americans, we live in a world of convenience and speed. Our lives are often filled with so many activities that we are rushing from one to the other without taking time for ourselves, and that constant activity (not to mention the state of the world the past couple of year) can lead to stress.

In Rest, Girl, Jami Amerine gives readers a peek into her life and what she’s learned about true rest the past couple of years. With humor and truth, Armine teaches readers about the power of changing your thinking and learning to shift the RAS response that often leads us to negative thoughts.

While repetitive at times (some of us need that to get the lessons through our heads), the book has good insights, wonderful examples—those with Amerine’s children stood out to me most. Faith like a child—and practical advice, Rest, Girl is one read that will encourage you to look at the stressors in life a different way.

Jami Amerine's latest book, "Rest, Girl," reads more like a diary as she grows and gains insight into this thing all humans crave - rest. As a follower of Christ, Jami offers her insights with humor and backed up with scripture. At first I will admit I had a difficult time getting into reading this book. However, with God's grace and mercy I started to see the bigger picture in what the author was trying to tell me, her audience. I loved her statement, "What will you choose, love or fear?" Followed by "You can not give to others what you do not possess (p.142)." My job is to love and not judge. Wow!! This book surely came to me at a perfect time with all the topsy -turvy occurring in our world day. So take the challenge: pick up this book and read it with an open heart. Maybe, just maybe, you will be transformed, finding rest! I received a complimentary copy of this book from Barbour Publishing and was under no obligation to post a review.… (más)

Author Jami Amerine offers practical advice and spiritual insights in her newest book, and she uses humor and personal experiences to share her journey of discovery. In her introduction to 'Rest, Girl', she admits that even though she believed that God could, she often had doubts that He would. As a young mother, Amerine struggled with stress and fatigue until she realized that "fear is the ultimate thief of real rest". Freedom from fear granted her peace and joy, but first she had to encounter true Grace and fully understand that there was nothing she could do to earn God's love.
Stress, fatigue, and fear certainly have no age limits, and Rest, Girl is perfect for women in all stages of life. I recommend this enlightening and encouraging book!

This book is a very religiously based book. The book gives thoughts on how to help you cope with being stressed and overwhelmed. I think we have all had these times in our lives and could use some thoughts and suggestions as to how best to overcome these feelings. She talks of personal experiences using humor, faith and grace to help pull us out of the mire.
She talks of Christ's miracles and asks the question: Do you believe? The need for faith is one of the thoughts that really spoke to me from this book. It is a thought provoking book that could help those whose lives are stressed and need uplifting.

I enjoyed the book and it gave me some things to ponder and consider for my life.
