      Book Overview

      What would you do for twenty-four hours if the only criteria were to?pursue your deepest joy? Dan Allender's lyrical book about the Sabbath expels the myriad myths about this "day of?rest," starting with the one that paints the Sabbath as a day of forced quiet, spiritual exercises,?and religious devotion and attendance. This, he says, is at odds with the ancient tradition of?Sabbath as a day of delight for both body and soul. Instead, the only way we can make use?of the Sabbath is to see God's original intent for the day with new eyes. In Sabbath , Allender?builds a case for delight by looking at this day as a festival that celebrates God's re-creative,?redemptive love using four components: Sensual glory and beauty Ritual Communal feasting Playfulness Now you can experience the delight of the Sabbath as you never have before--a day in?which you receive and extend reconciliation, peace, abundance, and joy. The Ancient Practices There is a hunger in every human heart for connection, primitive and raw, to God.?To satisfy it, many are beginning to explore traditional spiritual disciplines used for?centuries . . . everything from fixed-hour prayer to fasting to sincere observance?of the Sabbath. Compelling and readable, the Ancient Practices series is for every?spiritual sojourner, for every Christian seeker who wants more.

      What would you do with a day dedicated to delight? That is the question that Dan B.

While other books on keeping the Sabbath tend to focus on dedicating the day to God or resting from work, Allender expands on that, stating that "the Sabbath is a...

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      Remember the Sabbath and keep it Holy is one of the Ten Commandments. What does it really mean to keep it Holy?

      Ancient Practices

      By Thriftbooks.com User,

      I've been reading a lot on the Sabbath lately and this book by Dan Allender was a good addition to my library. The author presents excellent research on the history of Sabbath keeping as well discussing modern day practices. He uses personal stories, giving many life applications on celebrating the Sabbath. It was definitely worth the read.
