The Sabbath Practice

A full day each week set aside to stop, rest, delight and worship: that is the old rhythm John Mark Comer and the team at Practicing the Way want to recover for an age of chronic exhaustion. Written as a companion to four video sessions that are freely available online, the guide traces the biblical foundations of Sabbath and the idea that rest is woven into creation itself, then turns practical, with spiritual exercises, reflection questions and further resources.

Comer, a New York Times bestselling author, is frank about the forces, inside us and around us, that push against a day of rest, and he offers ways to build personal habits of rest, play and shared celebration. It works well for small groups and church communities as much as for individuals, and suits anyone who suspects that one unhurried day might change the other six.
