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.

This book has been such a blessing to my life. In our women's bible study we use a different book but I often refer to insites from this one. I wish everyone would read this and take it to heart!!

Stop... read... and find His peace. I really enjoyed this book. It's a matter of the heart of God, don't forget His gift, the Sabbath rest...it's a matter of your heart toward God.

I was really blessed in a big way by Chapter 14 in this book. God gave him the insight on how to counsel a woman who had a desolate past. He relates the very good things that then happened in her life. It changed the way he counseled people.
