Publisher's Summary

Widely acclaimed author Mark Buchanan states what we've really lost is "[T]he 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 audiobook, Buchanan reminds us of this and gives practical advice for restoring the sabbath in our lives.

This makes sense

most of these concepts are not just followed by Christians or religious people but even some of the most wealthiest and successful people share the principle of a day off. This book had good advice in terms of how to start finding peaceful rest. However, with the advancements of today's technologies and social media it's even harder and maybe more updated version should be made to address that. Overall really good read.
