Synopsis
The gift of Sabbath is essential to Christians full humanity and faith, according to Buchanan. It is a day to heal, to feed, to rescue, to celebrate, to lavish praise, and to relish life., Most of us feel utterly ransacked: we're waylaid by endless demands and stifling routines. Even our vacations have a panicky, task-like edge to them. "If I only had more time," is the mantra of our age. But is this the real problem Widely acclaimed author Mark Buchanan states that what we've really lost is "the rest of God-the rest God bestows and, with it, that part of himself we can know only through stillness." Stillness as a virtue is a foreign concept in our society, but there is wisdom in God's own rhythm of work and rest. Sabbath is elixir and antidote. It is a gift for our sanity and wholeness-to prolong our lives, to enrich our relationships, to increase our fruitfulness, to make our joy complete. Jesus practiced Sabbath among those who had turned it into a dismal thing, a day for murmuring and finger-wagging, and he reminded them of the day's true purpose: liberation-to heal, to feed, to rescue, to celebrate, to lavish and relish life abundant. The gift of Sabbath is essential to our full humanity and faith, says Buchanan. Far from being some starched and dour day only to be endured, Sabbath is a day wide and bright, brimming with laughter, enough to lend beauty to all our other days. Readers will be changed forever by this pivotal book. "It seems very unsabbath-like to describe a book about Sabbath with the adverb 'urgently'-but we urgently need this book. Mark Buchanan shows us that our busyness is killing us-killin us-and that Sabbath is our best cure, our best path for rest and reverence and discipleship."-LAUREN WINNER, Best-selling author of Girl Meets God and Mudhouse Sabbath "With the easiness of long intimacy and a very deft hand, Buchanan here braids together into one gracious and sustaining strand the beauty of Sabbath, the wisdom of its keeping, and the generosity of God in gifting us with it. These pages are not just a blessing, they are a psalm that cries out to be joyfully engaged."-PHYLLIS TICKLE, Religion editor (ret.)
