John Starke: The Sabbath We Need, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Detach from Chaos, Attach to Christ, and Break Free from the World's Demands Our world offers endless prescriptions for wholeness-a sense of fullness through achievement, a perfect work-life balance, the ideal Instagram feed, or the pursuit of well-being and leisure. Yet these cultural visions of fulfillment often leave us more restless than before. There is a more satisfying path. God invites us not simply to take a day off, but to be transformed to be like him through the joy, delight, and holiness of sabbath all seven days of the week. In The Sabbath We Need, John and Jena Starke guide you away from the world's anxious systems and into participation with God in his rest. This is not another book about relaxation or self-care. The biblical emphasis on sabbath rest isn't necessarily about recovering from the week but to be set apart like the God who rested on the seventh day. Based on their own practices as a family of six living in Manhattan, the Starkes offer a path for detachment from the world for a deeper attachment to Christ, providing hope for a culture exhausted in its search for rest. True sabbath is formation toward divine holiness and counterformation away from worldliness. With The Sabbath We Need, you will discover The difference between counterfeit fulfillment and the true divine fullness of sabbath keeping; Practical ways to make the sabbath the center of gravity for your week, reshaping your rhythms of life; How to practice sabbath in different stages of life and in seasons of pain, success, struggle, and loss; and How to receive the gift of sabbath as God intended and practice it in a way that leads to joy, delight, and interior rest.

Choose the way of holy rest. The Sabbath We Need leads you out of worldliness and into holiness, out of anxious systems and into the heart of rest.
