Book Description.

Experience the transformational power of the sacred, ancient, radical rhythm of Sabbath rest.

In the fast-paced, chaotic, overly scheduled cadence of a culture that idolizes busyness, hustle, productivity, and achievement, it can be difficult to imagine how to squeeze the Sabbath into our already over-stuffed lives―like trying to fit an eleventh passenger into an eight-passenger van. What if Sabbath isn’t designed to “fit” into our lives, but to take over our lives―in the best way imaginable?

Hebrew scholar and Old Testament professor Travis West believes that we’ve either forgotten or misunderstood what it means to truly Sabbath. In his book, The Sabbath Way, Travis takes readers on a spiritual journey to discovering radical rest is more than a weekly practice of taking a day off―it’s also a posture, a way of living every day. It isn’t about rules, rigidity, and legalism, and it means much more than sleeping in, taking a nap, or chilling poolside for an afternoon. Instead, the radical rest of Sabbath means putting rest―and delight, gratitude, and flourishing―first rather than last. Using personal story and expert knowledge, Travis shows readers how to make Sabbath rest the metronome that establishes and maintains our life’s rhythms, apprenticing us to abundance our whole life long.
