In today's world, with its relentless emphasis on success and productivity, we have lost the necessary rhythm of life, the balance between work and rest. Constantly striving, we feel exhausted and deprived in the midst of great abundance. We long for time with friends and family, we long for a moment to ourselves. Millennia ago, the tradition of Sabbath created an oasis of sacred time within a life of unceasing labor. 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, and 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, and suggestions for practice, Muller teaches us how we can use this time of sacred rest to refresh our bodies and minds, restore our creativity, and regain our birthright of inner happiness. Praise for Sabbath “Muller's insights are applicable within a broad spectrum of faiths and will appeal to a wide range of readers.”—Publishers Weekly “One of the best spiritual books of the year.”—Spirituality and Health “Wayne Muller's call to remember the Sabbath is not only rich, wise and poetic, it may well be the only salvation for body and soul in a world gone crazy with busyness and stress.”—Joan Borysenko, author ofMinding the Body, Mending the Mind and A Woman's Book of Life “This is a book that may save your life. Sabbath offers a surprising direction for healing to anyone who has ever glimpsed emptiness at the heart of a busy and productive life.”—Rachel Naomi Remen, M.D., author of Kitchen Table Wisdom
'If You Call the Sabbath a Delight' by David Vogel Pdf
The Sabbath was very important in Old Testament Israel. Sabbath-keeping was one of the Ten Commandments, and God's prophets continually called the Jews to honor God's holy day of rest. But then Christ came, and much of the Old Testament law passed away. But what about the Sabbath? Did it fade away along with dietary laws, the sacrificial system, and other "shadows" that pointed toward Christ, or does the Sabbath still have something of value for New Testament believers?This brief book surveys the Old and New Testaments to sketch a picture of what the Sabbath was and is. Through five short, readable chapters, we'll build an understanding of the place of the Sabbath in God's plans and see that the Sabbath does indeed still offer us both a command and a gift.

The Taste of Sabbath: How to Delight in God's Rest by Stuart Bryan Pdf
Sundays are feast days. But sometimes, that's awfully hard to remember. We often get too busy trying to keep track of all the things we're "not supposed to" do. Yet, as Stuart Bryan explains, this is not the emphasis of Scripture. The Lord's Day is a day of freedom, a day defined by thanksgiving--for God's grace, for the opportunities to share that grace with others, and for the hope we have in the glorious rest to come. A Taste of Sabbath is a short defense of Sabbath celebration, which includes practical suggestions as to how to better remember the rest which the Lord has given us.

The Sabbath - A Day of Greatfulness of Gratefulness by Rabbi Henry Glazer Pdf
“Why another book on the Sabbath?... My intention in presenting this book is to extract from the radiant crown of the Sabbath one gem that needs, I believe, further polishing to release its brilliance and beauty. The Sabbath invites us all to lend our hearts and minds to the task of renewed discovery within its limitless layers of holiness and blessing, of a most dazzling jewel on Sabbathʼs sacred tiara- the gem of gratefulness. What infuses the many facets of the Sabbath is the underlying opportunity it offers to rediscover life as a gift, experience gratitude for being alive, and articulatie this gratefulness in many expressive and heartfelt ways.” “ I write this essay on the Sabbath as a humble “midrash,” a commentary, on a sacred text, Heschelʼs “The Sabbath,” and as a belated response of a grateful heart to a “poet” who has enlightened not only the hearts of Jews everywhere but the soul of all humanity as well.”
The Heavenly Father created the Sabbath for mankind to be a day of delight full of peace and refreshment. It is a sacred time at the end of each week where His children are at liberty from the workday routine to slow down and rest. This time allows followers of Yeshua (Jesus) to concentrate on family unity, prayer, worship, Bible study, and fellowship with the Body of Messiah. It is an appointment with the King, a date with Adonai, and a rehearsal for the Messianic Age. Shabbat is a day that believers long for in anticipation of His Kingdom to Come, Yom Shekulo Shabbat - A time when all is Sabbath.
Have you ever noticed in the Old Testament history that every time the true worship of YAHUAH was restored in Israel or Judah, the keeping of ELOHIM's weekly Sabbath and His annual holy days was also resumed and emphasized? In 2nd Chronicles 30, we see an example of this; every time true worship was restored in ancient Israel or Judah, you saw the Sabbath command and the Holy Days observance. Recall, Josiah, this righteous King; what do you suppose happened in Judah after he died? Once again, Judah's people lost sight of ELOHIM; they lost sight of ELOHIM's commandments; they lost sight of the Sabbath command of YAHUAH's annual holy day and His seventh weekly day Sabbath. As a result, they ended up going into captivity. If we keep going forward in history during the days of their return to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple (Ezra 6) when they again restored true worship, what did they do? They started keeping the annual holy days; they started following the Sabbath of YAHUAH (weekly and yearly Sabbaths); again, it is the same story. Similarly, we find this in the New Testament times. When we fail to observe ELOHIM's annual Sabbaths; we as a nation are without knowledge; we need to look at that Sabbath command and uphold it; emphasize it, and get back to the true worship of the Great Creator YAHUAH. Many people have different views about how the Sabbath day should be remembered and honored. It is critical that one of the first steps is to know the meaning of the word that ELOHIM chose to use. "Sabbath" is from the Hebrew word “Shabbat,” which means to cease to desist from something or to rest, to become inactive. Sabbath-keeping was not a new instruction for Israel; at Mount Sinai, ELOHIM had already set it up back in Eden. In the fourth commandment, YAHUAH told Israel to remember what had been their duty from the beginning: take a look at the book of Exodus 20:8-11, which says, “8 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9 Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work: 10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of YAHUAH thy ELOHIM: in it, thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11 For in six days ELOHIM made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore ELOHIM blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.” ELOHIM never set aside our duty to keep the creation Sabbath; after the resurrection, the Apostles continued to honor it, as did YAHUSHUA during his time here on earth. It is perpetual, forever to be kept; until the end. Please consider scrolling up and clicking the “buy now” button to learn more. This book is a must-read.
