Sabbath: Finding Rest, Renewal, and Delight in Our Busy Lives by Wayne Muller



I love rest. If you know me at all, you know that I don't like to rush, I try to put plenty of margin in my life, and if I had nothing to do for months (years?), I would be fine. I'm not someone who gets bored.

I can take Sabbath days and I'm okay with not having a To-do list. But this book challenged me more about if I'm able to rest emotionally when I take a Sabbath day.

This book is divided up in very readable sections, each one challenging but gentle. The author writes about how important it is to rest, to know that we are not in charge of the world, that we need rest both for our bodies and minds.

I highly recommend this book. And I highly recommend rest.
