The Rest of God: Restoring Your Soul by Restoring Sabbath - Mark Buchanan

With this book, Buchanan reminds readers of the Sabbath's true purpose--to heal, to feed, to rescue, to celebrate, to lavish, and to relish life abundantly. He gives practical advice for restoring the Sabbath in Christians' lives. 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.
