Still Restless: Conversations That Open the Door to Peace

by Jan David Hettinga

Overview

What would you give to travel back in time and make an appointment with Jesus, to talk to God in flesh? Would you ask the questions that cause you doubt? Would you expect his answers to bring you peace?

Still Restless relates good news: God has always had time for honest seekers, even when they have hard questions or objections. The proof is in the life of Christ. Jesus met for one-on-one conversations to share the way to truth and life. He never used the same approach twice, proving that the gospel is designed for everyone, no matter an individual’s experiences or personality.

Hettinga walks through these gospel encounters to demonstrate how talking with Jesus is a good thing to do, particularly in today’s fast-paced modern world. Conversations with Christ reveal a spirituality that shuts down evil and empowers good. They produce a faith that surrenders control right from the beginning, embracing the relief of following a leader who cares for you.

"The search for spiritual peace is universal. Finding an end to inner restlessness is much less common."—Marcus Brotherton, author of the award-winning Feast for Thieves

Editorial Reviews

"This book is going to be a great help to people all over the world who are willing to do that."

George Verwer

"The kingdom message is not just another gospel technique, it is the way Jesus chose to connect with those he met."

Lee Harris

"Still Restless is written from a pastor's heart. Nestle in, and let Jan Hettinga unlock the Scriptures and take you to the God who is, who may be different from the God you’ve known."

Laurie Short

"In Still Restless, Jan Hettinga provides a compelling and eminently readable response to what some have called 'the insufficiency of all things attainable,' which has become the chief malaise of contemporary culture."

Sam Rima

"This book is an inspiring guide for those who have attempted to play God in their own lives or at least have sought to slow his advances."

Gary Irby

"This is a helpful guide to experiencing the missing peace of life’s puzzle."

Marcus Brotherton

"It's not Jan's knack for stringing words together—though he's certainly good at it—that makes this book a treasure."
