REST IS RESISTANCE A Manifesto

Tricia Hersey, founder of the Nap Ministry, narrates her long-awaited book, which focuses on resting: the power of the imagination and communal care through the literal "resting of one's body." Hersey speaks with conviction. There is certainty and clarity in her tone, and her relaxed delivery is a testament to living her manifesto. The narratives she shares are personal and relational. One hears unction in her voice when she describes her relentless father and the cultural violence that prevents so many in the U.S. from healing. Hersey encourages listeners to rest by reminding them to turn away from the daily grind and bask in the pleasure of closing one's eyes.
