Jim Anderson, the Rest Doctor, and his wife, Lois, conduct Sabbath-rest retreats for pastoral couples and other ministry leaders. He serves as the Director of Pastoral Care with the North Central District of the Evangelical Free Church. Before returning to Minnesota he served as a senior pastor for twenty-five years at three churches in other states. He holds Master of Divinity and Doctor of Ministry degrees from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. For more information on Dr. Anderson, you can read his personal profile.

For God's Sake, Rest! Discovering the Pleasure of His Rest is dedicated to my wife, Lois Ann Anderson. Lois has stood with me through ministry journeys, bouts of depression, and my whole Sabbath-rest discovery. More than anyone else she has urged me to take rest, Sabbath-rest. When I was stuck in workaholic ruts and Sabbath resistance, Lois nudged me out the door and on my way to my meeting place with God. We now offer Sabbath-retreats to pastors, missionaries, and church leaders. She is at my side helping me tell my story and tenderly encouraging others as she once encouraged me.
