Jeffrey McClain Jones has written a companion book to his Seeing Jesus series. Molly is a novelist in her 50s and is discovering the rest from having Jesus living inside of her. I enjoyed this book, especially the reminder that Jesus is in us and provides peace beyond understanding. This novel also points out the comforting fact that once we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior we no longer face life alone. Jesus promises us that He will never leavve or forsake us. Although this is a novel it points to many truths for believers.
I was given a copy of Dwell in Rest by through Book Funnel with no expectations. All thoughts are my own.
From Amazon:
A novelist in her fifties living alone in the Chicago suburbs, Molly MacGregor has buried her mother, survived a painful divorce, mourned her ex‑husband’s death, and spent twenty‑five years wondering what became of her sister. Now she’s caring for her aging father who doesn’t recognize her most days.
But Molly is not alone.
In the quiet spaces of her ordinary days, she senses a presence—steady, intimate, impossible to ignore. Not a distant God confined to Heaven, but a God who dwells within, offering comfort, courage, and companionship. As Molly explores the depths of this inner presence, she dares to ask the questions that could transform everything:
What if we truly believed we were never alone? What if God’s presence wasn’t a metaphor, but a reality pulsing through every moment of our lives?
Determined to discover what such a life might look like, Molly embarks on a journey that is part spiritual awakening, part emotional reckoning, and wholly unexpected.
Book One introduces a heroine whose search for meaning becomes a testament to resilience, faith, and the quiet miracles that unfold when we finally listen to the voice within.

He loves movies and can recite his top ten list given the slightest provocation. Walking along the river path near his house and reading on the deck next to the pond both give him joy and negative ions (look it up). He writes all his books where he can see the bird feeder on the back deck. Don’t get him started about the latest species he saw out there.
His passion is to write about Jesus as a living person who impacts the modern world, working through the imaginations and the hands and feet of his people. He believes God is supernatural and that the followers of Jesus are too.
