The Rest of God

Restoring Your Soul by Restoring Sabbath

By: Mark Buchanan

Narrated by: Eric Michael Summerer

Widely acclaimed author Mark Buchanan states what we've really lost is "[T]he rest of God - the rest God bestows and, with it, that part of Himself we can know only through stillness".

Stillness as a virtue is a foreign concept in our society, but there is wisdom in God's own rhythm of work and rest. Jesus practiced sabbath among those who had turned it into a dismal thing, a day for murmuring and finger-wagging, and he reminded them of the day's true purpose: liberation - to heal, to feed, to rescue, to celebrate, to lavish and relish life abundant.

With this audiobook, Buchanan reminds us of this and gives practical advice for restoring the sabbath in our lives.

Rest of God

Just what I needed in this season of life. Recommend you take notes and time to absorb.

Great word craft!

Mark Buchanan starts each chapter with a carefully written, engaging story relevant to the topic.

a good reminder

life is busy and only getting busier. this book is a great reminder of the "why" of sabbath, and a framework to think about the "how".

The simplicity that Mark explained the sabbath and rest.

I enjoyed how he unfold the mystery and foundation of the savage, how it should be incorporated with much joy and excitement, which allows freedom in this gift from God.

Beautiful book

This is one of the most beautiful and in depth descriptions of Sabbath I have read. Well written and narrated.
