About this book
Experience the transformational power of the sacred, ancient, radical rhythm of Sabbath rest.
In the fast-paced, chaotic, overly scheduled cadence of our culture, it can be difficult to imagine how to squeeze the Sabbath into our already over-stuffed livesâlike trying to fit an eleventh passenger into an eight-passenger van. What if Sabbath isn't designed to "fit" into our lives, but rather to take over our livesâin the best way imaginable?
Hebrew scholar and Old Testament professor Travis West believes that we've misunderstood what it means to truly Sabbath. In his book, The Sabbath Way, Travis takes readers on a spiritual journey to discovering radical rest is more than a weekly practice of taking a day offâit's also a posture, a way of living every day. It means much more than sleeping in, taking naps, or chilling poolside for an afternoon; instead, the radical rest of Sabbath means putting restâand delight, gratitude, and flourishingâfirst rather than last. Using personal story and expert knowledge, Travis shows Christians how to make Sabbath rest the metronome that establishes and maintains our life's rhythms, apprenticing us to abundance our whole life long.
