Sabbath: Finding Rest, Renewal, and Delight in Our Busy Lives

Millennia ago, the tradition of sabbath created an oasis of sacred time within a life of unceasing labor. But in today's world, we have lost the necessary rhythm of life, the balance between work & rest, doing & not doing. Constantly striving, we feel exhausted & deprived in the midst of great abundance, longing for time with friends & family, longing for a moment to ourselves. Now, in a book that can heal our harried lives, Wayne Muller, author of the spiritual classic How, Then, Shall We Live? shows us how to create a special time of rest, delight, & renewal--a refuge for our souls. 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, & suggestions for practice, Muller teaches us how we can use this time of sacred rest to refresh our bodies & minds, restore our creativity, & regain our birthright of inner happiness. "Muller's insights are applicable within a broad spectrum of faiths & will appeal to a wide range of readers.
