This is THE book on rest
This is THE book on rest. Jess does such a great job of educating the reader on the different types of tired AND offering practical ways to rest. I've been sharing about this with anyone who will listen. The real life stories from other women and Jess' vulnerability and transparency on this topic make the idea of rest so real and tangible.

the rest resource for today's tired
I have read Jess Connolly's "You are the Girl for the Job" many times and was so excited when I learned of this new book...."Tired of Being Tired," did not disappoint!This book is the perfect resource for the tired leader, mother, friend, woman . There are so many key reminders of who GOD is and how is calls us not to hustle, but to rest in His goodness.The reminder that "wanting to be everything to everyone is often the preamble to a breakdown of epic proportions" hits home on every level as a wife, mother, daughter, sister, volunteer, entrepreneur and leaderThis book is FOR YOU. The reminder that "You aren't the problem because you can't carry the weight of the world; the fallenness of humanity and the pace of our culture are the predicament."So grateful for this book and the call for a revival of rest."Our Father doesn't give us rest to be cute; He gives us rest because we need it. He gives us rest because He is wildly compassionate to His children who live under the effects of a fallen world."

Real rest now IS possible!
I know you’re tired- we’re all tired. It’s always a lot- work, kids, our health, dinners, school forms, appointments, life. The pace we are on moving from one thing to the next is not sustainable. We HAVE to make time for ourselves somewhere. How can we do that when we have so much to do? This book is the answer to that question. Jess takes us through the different types of fatigue (there’s a helpful quiz!) and not only helps us identify the problem, but also shares with us the promises God has given us to help us fight that fatigue. Jess gives practical tips you can ACTUALLY do to rest right now and not feel like it’s ONE MORE THING. She shares relatable anecdotes and most importantly, Jess reminds us that we don’t need permission to rest - as Daughters of the King, rest is already rightfully ours. It is not something God wants FROM us, but FOR us. I am so grateful for this book. You need this book. Your mom needs this book. Your best friend and your sister need this book.

Loved this book!
I am so happy Jess Connolly has written this book to help women recognize, accept and breakthrough being tired. By sharing her personal experiences, you feel related to and they also helped bring to light examples in my own life I might not have thought of. I didn’t realize there were different types of tiredness and how important it is to identify which one(s) you’re struggling with. Jess also provides biblical backing as to why rest is our birthright, the importance of sabbath and tangible steps on how we can improve our lives and our relationships (especially with God). I decided to read through the book once and take in all that I could, but I’m so excited to read this again taking some notes. I’ve already been able to incorporate a few of her suggestions and am hopeful that I’ll continually improve my quality of life, discover a sabbath that works for me and bless the other women in my life with this great news! Forever grateful to Jess for writing this book!

We really can receive rest!
This book was just what I needed. As a woman who often finds myself answering the question “how are you?” With “I’m good, tired and busy but good!”, this book was a balm to my weary, tired soul. The find your fatigue quiz is so helpful, and once I was into the chapters diving into each type of tired, my eyes were opened to what I’ve been dealing with and the fatigue I’ve been facing. This book is a practical resource, insightful, helpful and life-giving. A true sigh of relief!!

Prepare to be refreshed, renewed, and reinvigorated by this book!
As someone who is constantly saying “yes” to everyone and everything because “who else will do it?” the language laid out to say “no” and protect my boundaries (and my peace) are so so practical and helpful.From the moment I cracked open its pages, I felt seen, understood, and encouraged in a way that Jess Connolly is so SO gifted at.Connolly speaks directly to the heart of every woman who has ever felt overwhelmed by the demands of daily life. The ability to name my tired (emotional, spiritual, mental, and physical)- and how to respond - is so incredibly helpful.As a fellow coach, I am thrilled to add this book to my arsenal of resources for clients seeking rest. But make no mistake—this book is for every woman who dares to believe that she deserves more than a life of perpetual fatigue.Such a great read!
