Reading Wisdom That Leads to Soul Rest was a deeply moving experience-one that invited me to pause, reflect, and rediscover what true restoration looks like. Bret Kolman writes with an honesty and humility that's both rare and refreshing. Through his vulnerability, he opens the door for readers to see how even our greatest challenges can become opportunities for growth when approached with rest, prayer, and faithful relationships. This book isn't just about taking a break-it's about transformation. Bret's sabbatical approach offers timeless wisdom for anyone who's ever felt weary from the constant pace of life and leadership. His reflections remind us that stepping away is not weakness but wisdom, and that slowing down can, in fact, move us forward with greater purpose, peace, and clarity. What I found most inspiring was Bret's willingness to share the lessons he learned the hard way-the missteps, the grace found in loss, and the power of gratitude and generosity. His words feel like a conversation with a trusted friend who has been where you are and wants nothing more than to see you whole, rested, and renewed. Wisdom That Leads to Soul Rest is a gift for leaders, caregivers, and anyone longing to reconnect their work with their soul. It's a reminder that even in the busiest seasons, there is a sacred rhythm waiting to restore us-if only we'll pause long enough to receive it. - Toniann Richard CEO @ HCC Network
