First Day

by John Andrews, Tim Pettingale (Editor)

Author John Andres challenges us to look at our lives in the light of Adam and Eve’s “first day” on the planet. Although the Sabbath was “day 7” for God in terms of creation, it was “day 1” for newly created humanity. Before God asked Adam and Eve to “do” anything, He invited them simply to “be” - to enjoy and understand the power of rest. The Sabbath teaches us the principle of working out of a place of “rest” in God, not simply “resting from work”. At it’s heart are three vital The principles contained within the concept of “Sabbath” are not simply intended as a once-per-week experience. Rather, they express a lifestyle that should shape our whole experience of walking with and trusting God. Dr John Andrews is an author, speaker and teacher with a passion to equip and inspire leaders, as well as empowering followers of Jesus into effective lifestyle and service. He is the author of several books.

[George Ong · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an excellent book. The author has taken time to address issues pertaining to the Sabbath, and many also cleared many doubts about the Sabbath, and what it has to do with rest, e.g. is it a specific day? Is it an attitude? What do we do about it?

The author also lists down suggestions on implementation which I found extremely helpful. Theory with practical application is great. And the plus point is that it is a short book, therefore I had a lot more time to think through the material and begin to implement. Thank you, John Andrews for this work :)
