Are you tired of carrying the weight of expectations, stress, and spiritual exhaustion? In The Burdens We Carry , Christine Wood gently guides Christian women toward the unforced rhythms of grace that Jesus promised. With deep compassion and relatable honesty, she invites readers to examine the cultural, church-based, and self-imposed burdens that keep us stuck — and shows how to lay them down. Through personal story, Scripture, and reflection, you’ll learn to: Stop striving to be “good enough” and live from God’s love instead - Identify emotional, spiritual, and physical burdens you were never meant to carry - Practice rhythms of rest, simplicity, and freedom in Christ This is not a book about doing more — it’s a heartfelt invitation to do less, and live more. If you’re longing for rest but unsure how to get there, this book will meet you where you are and point you to the gentle heart of Jesus. “This is a book every weary heart needs. The Burdens We Carry is an honest, tender guide for anyone longing to lay down the weight they were never meant to bear. With wisdom and warmth, Christine points us back to the gentle heart of Jesus and the real rest our souls crave. This book isn’t just good — it’s healing.” —Susan Elsmore, Associate Pastor, Gateway Baptist Church Christine Wood is a writer, pastor, and mentor who spent over a decade in ministry before walking away to discover what it really means to live freely and lightly with Jesus.
