With the resurgence of Sabbath in Christian literature, Sabbath-keepers have admirably defended Sabbath. They have done less to understand it. Most books argue that Sabbath matters but few explain how to experience its richness. This groundbreaking work takes you beyond explanation to offer that experience. In a probing look at Scripture, this 52-week devotional leads you through a year of discovering Sabbath by experience. It is written for families who seek a better way to welcome the Sabbath each week and almost anyone who wants to experience God on a deeper level. It is a must have for every Sabbath-keeper's library.

Enter into the mystery of the Sabbath, into the wonder and light of the seventh day. "We live in a world dominated by speed and distraction, with demands for our attention at every turn.... We frequently forget the restorative blessing of stillness, our desperate need for rest ... a rest that brings us back to the center of existence, a calm that allows us to reconnect with the divine breath at the soul of All." —from the Introduction Enrich your spiritual experience of Shabbat by exploring the writings of mystical masters of Hasidism. Drawing from some of the earliest teachings in the family of the Ba'al Shem Tov through late nineteenth-century Poland and the homilies of the Sefat 'Emet, Eitan Fishbane evokes the Sabbath experience—from candle lighting and donning white clothing to the Friday night Kiddush and the act of sacred eating. Fishbane also translates and interprets a wide range of Hasidic sources previously unavailable in English that reflect the spiritual transformation that takes place on the seventh day—one that can shift your awareness into the realm that is all soul. Personal prayers of the Bratzlav (Breslov) Hasidic tradition express the spiritual dimension of Shabbat in the language of devotional and individual yearning.

Elegant, passionate, and filled with the love of God's creation, Abraham Joshua Heschel's The Sabbath has been hailed as a classic of Jewish spirituality ever since its original publication--and has been read by thousands of people seeking meaning in modern life. In this brief yet profound meditation on the meaning of the Seventh Day, Heschel, one of the most widely respected religious leaders of the twentieth century, introduced the influential idea of an 'architecture of holiness" that appears not in space but in time. Judaism, he argues, is a religion of time: it finds meaning not in space and the materials things that fill it but in time and the eternity that imbues it, so that 'the Sabbaths are our great catherdrals.'

We live in a 24/7 culture of endless productivity, workaholism, distraction, burnout, and anxiety--a way of life to which we've sadly grown accustomed. This tired system of "life" ultimately destroys our souls, our bodies, our relationships, our society, and the rest of God's creation. The whole world grows exhausted because humanity has forgotten to enter into God's rest. This book pioneers a creative path to an alternative way of existing. Combining creative storytelling, pastoral sensitivity, practical insight, and relevant academic research, Subversive Sabbath offers a unique invitation to personal Sabbath-keeping that leads to fuller and more joyful lives. A. J. Swoboda demonstrates that Sabbath is both a spiritual discipline and a form of social justice, connects Sabbath-keeping to local communities, and explains how God may actually do more when we do less. He shows that the biblical practice of Sabbath-keeping is God's plan for the restoration and healing of all creation. The book includes a foreword by Matthew Sleeth.

Christians today are desperate for biblical answers to the exhaustion that so many of us suffer from the pace and demands of modern life. Keith brings words of liberation and challenge to us all, articulating in this thoughtful exposition of scripture a higher demand than the clamor of culture. Savor in these pages the life-giving word of God's command that we find and make time for rest. Author and Pastor Dave Cheadle, Denver, Colorado Ruckhaus's study calls us back to the basics, and in so doing calls into question the very way we do our faith. The subject of God's Sabbath is therefore not just another doctrine or issue. How we grasp and understand this Day of days defines the kind of discipleship we are willing to profess and practice... This book will exact an effort on your part, which means it will demand your time. Alas, time you perhaps don't have. Ah, this could then be the first step toward keeping the Sabbath. You will have to lay aside something if you are to grasp the significance of Ruckhaus's insights. Don't just read this book; enter it. Let it affect you. For it demands a response. Take it up into your life and your lifestyle. Enter the rest God is giving. And don't forget to take others along. Charles E. Moore Plough Publishing Spring Valley Bruderhof, PA
