Work and Rest God’s Way Family Guide: A Biblical Recipe for Finding Joy and Purpose in All You Do by Scott LaPierre is the perfect resource to equip families and parents to discipline children in becoming good stewards of work and rest. The book is especially helpful for parents of older children and teenagers who need to begin cultivating attributes of hard work ethic and work/rest balance. The guide incorporates strong reflection questions that help the family to set personal goals. I found the questions inspirational, acting as a springboard launching me toward action. The book is set up so that each person can review and reflect upon it, and go over it as a family unit, weekly. This timeframe can be adjusted as needed. The guide incorporates godly insights, Bible-based teaching, and research to support the biblical framework for a healthy work/rest, God-honoring lifestyle.
