The Wisdom of Sleep

di Brett McCracken (Autore)

Zondervan, 2026

Eye-opening revelations from Scripture and science about why we sleep, dream, and rest--and why they are such gifts. In our age of hurry, productivity, and constant distraction, sleep is often treated as an inconvenient pause or means of self-optimization. We've forgotten the deeper, theological meaning of rest and the profound spiritual lessons we can learn from our God-given need for sleep. Drawing from Scripture, science, cultural commentary, and personal reflections, Brett McCracken shows how sleep, rest, and Sabbath are not just necessary downtimes or missed opportunities to be productive--they are sacred practices that deepen our relationship with God, nurture our love for others, and bear witness to his grace. The Wisdom of Sleep calls you to a higher view of this essential and holy part of our lives. Throughout the book, you'll discover that sleep, rest, and dreams are surprising gifts from God. You'll learn the astonishing science behind the ways sleep revives and restores us, and how this God-designed physical reality daily reminds us of spiritual truths. As you better understand and embrace God's good design, you'll grow in love for him and help point other weary souls to the ultimate rest they can have in him. The wisdom of sleep is not just in its brilliant design and biological benefits. It's also in the way sleep and rest bear witness to our createdness, our salvation, and our eternal future--when all restlessness will find repose in God's presence.
