Your Best Life In Jesus' Easy Yoke: Rhythms of Grace to De-Stress and Live Empowered

I love this book. I'm a counselor and I have loved it personally and shared it with clients.

I am learning how to live and minister to others with invisible chronic illnesses and adolescents who have a mental illness diagnosis in God's peace and power. Bill provided me with fresh Biblical insights and practical steps that I can use with the online groups I belong to as well as members of the Elkhart County Clubhouse. As someone who was forced into an early retirement because of an invisible chronic illness and as a result lost everything that I had worked for during a 48 year career I'm learning how to live a more relaxed yet empowered life. The most important thing to me is that, from all accounts, Bill and Kristi lived the principles and best practices before Bill wrote the book. If you are interested in digging more deeply into the well-spring of God's sustaining grace and drink the life-giving waters of Jesus Your Best Life In Jesus' Easy Yoke is a must read. As someone who is visually impaired I hope that there is an audio-book in the works.

I expected to get some inspiration from this book but I got so much more! The practical tips about “breath prayers” and visualization have been so helpful to me as I walked through a very difficult time. The poem about being a wildflower in God’s meadow is so powerful that I’ve been drawing a little flower on my hand to remind me of that powerful thought! Thank you for the powerful lessons in this book. I really needed this new way to think about being blessed by being yoked with The Master!

I threw this book away before I got through the first chapter. It might have had some good content along the way, but the Easy Yoke that it is supposed to purport is squashed when it starts telling all the exercises you have to do in order to obtain this Easy Yoke. I have been a Christian for a long time and have already established my methods of communing with God, so I guess I just needed a supplement to what I already have established to make my yoke easier, but this wasn't it.

This is one of the most beautifully powerful and practical books I've read on what it looks like to truly live in the Kingdom of God. Bill focuses on walking in the easy yoke of Jesus, teaching us how we can practice and train ourselves to walk in the unforced rhythms of grace. Living in Jesus' non-anxious yoke means being relaxed and peaceful. One key way to have Jesus' peace in our heart is through receiving empathy, given from one person to another. "Empathy is oxygen for the soul" Bill says, and helps us feel secure, non-anxious, and free from fear! I've discovered new insights to deal with anxiety and hurt! This book is like a manual, to read over and over again!

The truth is in the title. This is one of the most insightful books I've read lately. I highly recommend it to those who are tired and frustrated and need to be refueled with God's peace in this high-pressured world. It is written in great style with awesome truths on how to wear Jesus "Easy Yoke." The key word is "easy." Learn to walk in God's peace and grace with Bill Gaultiere, PhD. as he shares from his personal successes and failures. Dr. Gaultiere is a gifted author with refreshing new concepts, who reflects the example of Jesus, causing the subject to resonate and be obtainable for the reader. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I'm sure I will refer back to it time and time again.

Thank you for "Life in the Easy Yoke." I just started reading it with tears of joy. I don't know how to express just how much your work is helping and encouraging me. I've been seeking God to help me get to the 'heart of the matter' of growing in grace, and like you, studying Dallas's teachings for quite a while now. It's starting to come together in the reality of God in my own heart right now, learning to be honest with him and with myself, learning to abandone myself to him and trust Him in this present moment, and experience His life. I just wanted to express my gratitude to you and share how God is working.

Practical and spiritual book. We all have a choice about Jesus. If He is Lord, as I believe, we need to take Him at His word about not being afraid, in Him. This book helps us achieve this easier said than done task.

Finding a rested life does not just happen. It takes deliberate, determined and consistent effort. Thus paradox is aided when we find our rest in Jesus.

I loved this book. It has really helped me process a recent health issue that has caused anxiety. I read this book through twice because I missed some things in the first reading.There are a lot of typos, I would love to proof read it for the author as I feel that some readers might be distracted by the missed or incorrect words.Even though there are typos I would highly recommend this book to Christians interested in finding out about Jesus easy yolk.
