Sabbath keeping : finding freedom in the rhythms of rest
Personal Author EPSB:
Summary:
Sabbath recalls our creation, and with it God's satisfaction with us as He made us, without our hurried wrangling and harried worrying. It also recalls God's deliverance of the Israelites from Egypt, and with it God's ability to do completely what we cannot complete in ourselves. Sabbath keeping reminds us that we are free to rest each week. When we fail to rest we do more than burn ourselves out. We misunderstand the God who calls us to rest--who created us to be people of rest. Let's face it: our rest needs work. With collected insights from sabbath keepers of all ages and backgrounds, "Sabbath Keeping" offers a practical and hopeful guidebook that encourages all of us to slow down and enjoy our relationship with the God of the universe.
