Constantly striving, we feel exhausted and deprived in the midst of great abundance. We long for time with friends and family, we long for a moment to ourselves. <br><br>Millennia ago, the tradition of Sabbath created an oasis of sacred time within a life of unceasing labor. Now, in a book that can heal our harried lives, Wayne Muller, author of the spiritual classic <b>How, Then, Shall We Live?</b>, shows us how to create a special time of rest, delight, and renewal--a refuge for our souls. <br><br>We need not even schedule an entire day each week. Sabbath time can be a Sabbath afternoon, a Sabbath hour, a Sabbath walk. With wonderful stories, poems, and suggestions for practice, Muller teaches us how we can use this time of sacred rest to refresh our bodies and minds, restore our creativity, and regain our birthright of inner happiness. 492591 5 9 2000 Sabbath: Finding Rest, Renewal, and Delight in Our Busy Lives total:61|5:36|4:21|3:4|2:0|1:0| 61 276 104 20 5 0 false false Tue Feb 24 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 29 21:28:36 -0800 2009 Tue May 19 12:52:57 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Fri Jul 04 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Jul 04 14:23:54 -0700 2008 Fri Jul 04 23:49:42 -0700 2008
Worth the read. Helps me to realize that to "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy." (Exodus 20:8) requires intentionality. The demands of our lives create our forgetfulness. A time and a way of resting from the world and toward our Creator is not only a comman...more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Dec 09 11:28:39 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 09 11:29:02 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Jul 08 07:08:42 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 08 07:20:15 -0700 2009
