Jen Pollock is an author of several books, including the recent release, "A Habit Called Faith." Her book "Teach Us to Want" was named Christianity Today’s Book of the Year in 2015. She's always been captivated by several particular stories in Scripture: Abraham and his doubt; Hannah and her grief; David and his failure. "Though many turn to the Bible for what to believe and how to behave, I’ve come to think that it offers us something even more expansive and beautiful and imaginative," she said. She talks with our Mallory Brown about her latest book, which is a 40-day devotional about transformative nature of habits as it relates to deepening our faith.

"Jesus saved my life once upon a time, and then he kept doing it every single day since then," she writes on her website. "That’s why I am here: because of grace. I want to testify to his faithfulness and to make his great name known." Her new book is all about cutting out the busy to embrace to rest. She and Mallory talk about the value of rest of doing things slow as well as what Scripture says about it. "Jesus was never in a hurry," she says.
