From New York Times bestselling author John Mark Comer and the team at Practicing the Way, these simple, beautiful meditations offer a way to enter into the beauty of the Sabbath day and keep it holy, integrating spiritual formation into your personal and communal faith practice.
God designed the Sabbath to be a day like no other. It is an aftertaste of Eden-a time when all was as it was meant to be. And it is a forestate of eternity, of the "new heavens and new earth"-a day in which we anticipate and act out our glorious future as the people of God fully set free from the curse and made new under his good rule.
This collection of readings and Bible passages serves as your invitation into an intentional Sabbath practice, helping you to pause, along with your family or faith community, and more fully experience a day set apart, with four sections designed to help you to
• Stop
• Rest
• Delight
• Worship
Discover for yourself how Sabbath can be the best day of your week, and the anchor of your entire life with God, as you practice eternity by keeping this day holy. John Mark Comer is the founding pastor of Bridgetown Church in Portland, Oregon, a teacher and writer with Practicing the Way, and the New York Times bestselling author of multiple books, including Practicing the Way, The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry, and Live No Lies.
Practicing the Way is a nonprofit that creates spiritual formation resources for churches and small groups learning how to become apprentices of the Way of Jesus. We believe one of the greatest needs of our time is for people to discover how to become lifelong disciples of Jesus. To that end, we help people learn how to be with Jesus, become like him, and do as he did through the practices and rhythms he and his earliest followers lived by.
