The Sabbath Way

Experience the transformational power of the sacred, ancient, radical rhythm of Sabbath rest.

In the fast-paced, chaotic, overly scheduled cadence of our culture, it can be difficult to imagine how to squeeze the Sabbath into our already over-stuffed liveslike trying to fit an eleventh passenger into an eight-passenger van. What if Sabbath isnt designed to fit into our lives, but rather to take over our livesin the best way imaginable?

Hebrew scholar and Old Testament professor Travis West believes that weve misunderstood what it means to truly Sabbath. In his book, The Sabbath Way, Travis takes readers on a spiritual journey to discovering radical rest is more than a weekly practice of taking a day offits also a posture, a way of living every day. It means much more than sleeping in, taking naps, or chilling poolside for an afternoon; instead, the radical rest of Sabbath means putting restand delight, gratitude, and flourishingfirst rather than last. Using personal story and expert knowledge, Travis shows Christians how to make Sabbath rest the metronome that establishes and maintains our lifes rhythms, apprenticing us to abundance our whole life long.

Readers of this book will discover how the Sabbath:

• slows us down and helps us discover the things that make us feel most alive, freeing us from rigidity and legalism
• disrupts our cultural obsession with productivity and achievement and cultivates a more life-giving connection between our work and our worth
• inspires an unhurried, sacramental worldview that sees all of life as a gift
• safeguards neighborliness, creation care, awareness of Gods presence, justice, belonging and inclusivenessenabling us to grow into the people God is calling us to be in our lives, our homes, our workplaces, our communities, and our world

The Spirit of God longs for you to be fully alive, and the world needs your unique vitality. The Sabbath is calling. Will you come?
