Rhythms of Rest: Finding the Spirit of Sabbath in a Busy World
Rhythms of Rest: Finding the Spirit of Sabbath in a Busy World | Shelly Miller
11 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
An Inspiring, Practical Guide to Finding Rest and Getting Closer to God Sabbath-keeping not only brings physical refreshment, it restores the soul. God commands us to "remember the Sabbath," but is it realistic in today's fast-paced culture? In this warm and helpful book, Shelly Miller dispels legalistic ideas about Sabbath and shows how even busy people can implement a rhythm of rest into their lives--whether for an hour, a morning, or a whole day. With encouraging stories from people in different stages in life, Miller shares practical advice for having peaceful, close times with God. You will learn simple ways to be intentional about rest, ideas for tuning out distractions and tuning in God, and even how meals and other times with friends and family can be Sabbath experiences. Ultimately, this book is an invitation to those who long for rest but don't know how to make it a reality. Sabbath is a gift from God to be embraced, not a spiritual hoop to jump through.

I loved this book. It wasn't fast paced and that's part of its beauty. It was a slow and restful walk with a good friend, filled with words that wove their way into my bones. How I approachm each day has been changed by the ideas Shelly shares so beautifully. If you need a rest, I recommend this gem. I will be sending copies to a few friends.

The book is insightful, powerful and memorable. The engaging approach to Sabbath is educational and motivating. Overall, I'm glad to have read the book. The pacing of the book was slow though and I found all the blog commentaries distracting.

Really enjoyed elements of this book, like this one, even if it is a bit long winded in parts #Christian #rhythmsofrest #BKlovesLitsy

Sabbath is a time to transition from human doings to human beings

"Language making the heart race wildly with purpose." This sentence is my soul. We all connect to the divine in unique ways, special paths placed by our Maker- and language is one of the paths He selected for me.

I am honestly loving this book. Intentional quieting is so important, taking those moments alone with God- away from our phones and constant social buzz, it restores our soul.

Starting this today as part of the launch team- I'm really excited to delve into what Shelly has to say about rest and God's invitation to do so.
