A powerful guide to defeating exhaustion by reclaiming the inner life God designed you for, from the award-winning author of Beautiful Resistance and pastor of Church of the City, New York.

Despite all our talk about rest, self-care, and Sabbath, many of us are more exhausted than ever. Exhaustion has become our default cultural setting. We know Jesus offers us more than a life of pressure and obligation, but we can’t seem to access the life he promised. So, we settle for exhaustion management. We try productivity hacks, better boundaries, escape, or simply pushing through.

We don’t want to turn inward and become selfish, nor do we want to burn out serving God. We want to pour ourselves out in love without running ourselves into the ground.

In The Antidote for Exhaustion, pastor and bestselling author Jon Tyson helps us get beneath the surface of our exhaustion and recover a restorative, hidden life with God. This is the inner world of our desires, fears, and longings—the secret place where Jesus meets us, fills us, forms us, and frees us to give our lives away in love.

Drawing on Scripture and wisdom cultivated from more than two decades of pastoring in New York City, Tyson offers a fresh framework for resisting the forces that keep us depleted and shows us how to live deeply rooted in God.

This is not a book about simply doing less or resting more. It’s an invitation to recover the life with God you were born for: a joy-filled, wholehearted, and overflowing life.
