Title: A Living Sacrifice: Discovering God's rest amidst the stresses of life
Author: Anthony Yeo
Call number: 201 YEO
We often interpret Paul’s exhortation in the Bible that we should offer up our bodies as a living sacrifice to mean that we need to give of our time and energies in God’s service. Anthony Yeo points out, in his inimitably forthright way, that our physical bodies are also part and parcel of this act of spiritual worship. And, just as the priests of old aggrieved God by the sacrifice of crippled and lame animals, are we doing the same by offering bodies that are wearied, exhausted and burnt out? Drawing from very real examples in his own spiritual journey, Anthony provides practical steps to help us discover God’s rest in the midst of the stresses of our lives.
