Come, Sit, Stay Finding Rest for Your Soul

Co-author of two New York Times bestsellers, Ellen Vaughn encourages those who are emotionally drained, burdened, or spiritually hungry to come and rest in Christ's presence. The best-selling author of Mary Beth and Steven Curtis Chapman's book Choosing to See and Denise Jackson's It's All about Him draws readers into a far deeper connection with God by issuing compelling invitations to come and rest -each an offer for a richer, simpler spiritual life in Christ. In this simplicity, we stop living in black-and-white and begin to enjoy an illuminating life in high-definition color. Readers will find this book full of much-needed wisdom in an exceedingly stressful society that has become consumed with busyness and activity.

ELLEN VAUGHN collaborated with Mary Beth Chapman, wife of Steven Curtis Chapman, on her New York Times bestseller Choosing to SEE, and coauthored various award-winning books with Chuck Colson. She also collaborated on the New York Times bestseller It’s All about Him, the story of Denise Jackson, wife of country music superstar Alan Jackson. Vaughn’s solo books include Time Peace, Radical Gratitude, and The Strand. She lives in a Washington, DC, suburb with her husband, Lee, their three teenagers, and two dogs.
