Embracing Rhythms of Work and Rest: From Sabbath to… by Ruth Haley Barton

This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.

Practical insight into the biblical argument for sabbath and how to incorporate it into our modern lives. Sabbatical doesn't get as deep of an exploration but is still discussed.

A very good book, if you’re a Christian this is a must have, it talks a lot about the sabbath. Something that should be talked about more. The understanding of the sabbath.

It's a topic that is becoming more popular and with good reason. The author deals with how rest is a necessary rhythms in our lives. I am still reading it, so final verdict will come soon.
