No Sweat — Entering the Rest that Remains

There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. — Hebrews 4:9

If you have been measuring your worth by what you produce — if retirement did not cure the quota in your heart — if you are still making bricks for a Pharaoh who was fired two thousand years ago — this book is for you.

NO SWEAT began as Sunday school at Broad Street Baptist Church. Four lessons that would not leave the teacher alone. One was about a strange verse in Ezekiel where God forbids sweat in His house. The others walked a congregation through the rhythm written into the first week of the world, the rest a nation of slaves turned down at the border, and the rest that still remains because a greater Joshua finished the work.

In these pages Shelly J. Berryhill traces three drops of sweat through Scripture, then opens Hebrews 4 until the invitation lands where it belongs: Come unto Me. Not a new doctrine. Not a new argument. Just room enough for the finished work to be heard again.

The door is open.

Sit down.
