Rest | Softcover

Keri Wyatt Kent invites readers to rediscover the ancient practice of Sabbath in this practical and accessible book. Kents experiences as a retreat leader and a journalist collide as she offers true interview-based stories along with scripturally based advice and guidance on how to live in a rhythm of work and rest she calls Sabbath simplicity. Based on what Jesus taught about Sabbath and how he practiced it Kent explores six aspects of Sabbath as Christian spiritual practice: resting reconnecting revising pausing playing and praying. These are the antidote to our restlessness isolation and our hurried lives workaholism and self-absorption. Living a nonlegalistic sanely paced God-focused life leads us to freedom and grace joy and connection. A group study guide is included making this book an excellent choice for small groups.
