I'm curious if this is pastoral or technical (restoring saturday). The word Sabbath looks to be misused for Sunday. Lost from whom. https://lccn.loc.gov/2005010012 https://books.google.nl/books?id=W7X4jgvvdikC&printsec=frontcover&hl=nl#... preview https://catalog.loc.gov/vwebv/search?searchArg=mark buchanan&searchCode=GKEY^*&searchType=0&recCount=225 author search [The Rest of God] by [[Mark Buchanan]] is perhaps the best book I've read on Sabbath keeping--and I've read a lot, having kept Sabbath for all 43 years of my Christian walk. Mr. Buchanan, a pastor, doesn't get bogged down in do's and don'ts--rather he focuses on the wonderful benefits of Sabbath keeping and how much we need a break, a rest from our usual work. He relates how, despite being a pastor, he didn't keep any kind of Sabbath for years. He eventually got so sick he had to take a break, a Sabbatical from his pastorate. He found that humbling and educational for the benefits of the Sabbath. I found his candor and humility about his errors to be refreshing and made his case far stronger. I recommend this book for any Christian who wishes to draw closer to God and doesn't currently observe any day of rest. It also is educational for any person of another faith who is curious about Christian Sabbath keeping. One last point: although whether a Christian Sabbath should be celebrated on Saturday or Sunday is a divisive point, Mr. Buchanan completely bypasses the issue, focusing rather on the spirit and intent of the Sabbath--time devoted to God, every week. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

The author delves into the fast-paced, modern world and addresses the urgency of finding true rest amidst the chaos. His eloquent prose and thoughtful reflections make a compelling case for embracing the Sabbath as a sacred space for rejuvenation and connection with the divine.
What I find particularly commendable is Buchanan's ability to blend theological depth with a practical approach. He doesn't just advocate for Sabbath in theory; he provides tangible ways for readers to incorporate rest into their lives. His emphasis on the holistic nature of rest, encompassing not just physical but also emotional and spiritual dimensions, resonates well.
Buchanan's writing style is engaging, and his sincerity shines through as he shares personal experiences and struggles with rest. It adds authenticity to his message, making the book relatable to a broad audience. Moreover, his respect for the Sabbath as a gift from God and a means of restoring the soul aligns well with your theological background.
Overall, "The Rest of God" is a thought-provoking and enriching read, inviting readers to pause, reflect, and embrace the rest that God intends for our well-being. It's a book that transcends denominational boundaries, offering universal insights into the profound significance of Sabbath rest in our lives. ( )
