By Vance Havner
Are you running on empty, trying to sustain a busy life on a dry spirit? Hear the gentle invitation of the Savior to step away from the noise, escape the hustle, and simply rest awhile.
Following the beloved tradition of his earlier book, By the Still Waters, legendary evangelist Vance Havner pens a companion volume born out of a quiet, intentional season of solitude. Stepping away from the demands of heavy travel and city pastorates, Havner returned to his roots-autumn weeks spent in his old childhood home nestled in the North Carolina hills. There, among the quiet ridges, he gathered these beautiful rustic sketches and roadside reflections.
As Havner famously warned, If you do not come apart and rest, you will come apart. In Rest Awhile, he trades his fiery, prophetic pulpit mantle for the gentle staff of a shepherd. Written with a rich, countrified charm and a deep appreciation for the outdoors, these meditations explore what happens when we stop treating our faith like an endless, exhausting checklist and instead take time to sit at the feet of Jesus.
Whether you are a modern Christian worn down by the frantic pace of daily life, a ministry worker facing deep spiritual fatigue, or simply someone longing for deep biblical truth packaged in simple, everyday beauty, this collection offers a tranquil sanctuary for your soul.
Inside this Restorative Companion, You Will Experience:Rustic Devotional Sketches: Short, evocative chapters that capture the peace of the hills and the timelessness of God's creation.
The Remedy for Burnout: Practical, scriptural encouragement rooted in Mark 6:31, showing how to protect your quiet time and reclaim your inner peace.
Classic Havner Insights: His iconic, pithy prose and down-to-earth wisdom that pierce directly to the heart without wasting a single word.
You cannot poured out into the lives of others if your own vessel is dry. Answer the Master's call to leave the crowds behind, open these pages, and Rest Awhile.
What Readers Say About Vance Havner's Meditations:Havner has an incredible gift for taking the simple things of nature and turning them into refreshing, heavy-hitting spiritual truths. This book is a true oasis.
There is a sweet, calm country charm to these pages that instantly grounds your spirit, yet the biblical truth remains as sharp and clear as ever.
About the Author
Vance Havner (1901-1986) was one of America's most revered evangelists and Bible conference speakers, traveling the country for over seven decades. While widely recognized for his razor-sharp wit and urgent calls to revival, Havner also maintained a lifelong love for the quiet, rural, and simple ways of his North Carolina past. This deep appreciation for nature and solitude shines brightly through his devotional books, which continue to serve as a baseline of comfort, conviction, and timeless biblical truth for millions of Christians worldwide.
