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. 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. With this book, Buchanan reminds us of this and gives practical advice for restoring the sabbath in our lives.

Great insight. Easily read and digested. Takes neither a legalistic approach nor liberties where unwarranted. Author speaks of rest and it's relationship to sabbath ideals and mindset. I tell lots of people about this one. God Is good.
