[The Sabbath (Walk in the Light, Volume 8)] [By: Bennett, Todd D] [June, 2005]
This book traces the Sabbath day from the first day of creation to the present day. It examines what the Scriptures have to say about this unique day that was set apart from all other days. This is a must read for anyone interested in the Bible. It reveals the traditions that have developed by men essentially relegating the Sabbath day to the religion of Judaism while Christianity has allegedly changed their sabbath to Sunday. Learn the error of these traditions and the importance of the Sabbath as a sign for all those who desire to enter into a Covenant relationship with the One Who created the Sabbath day.

A guy at church lent me “The Sabbath”, book 8 in the “Walk in the Light” series by Todd. D. Bennett (2005). I’d not read any of the other books in the series, but from what I can gather, it doesn’t seem terribly important to read them in order, as they all focus on one specific topic. This is especially true if the reader is familiar with the Bible, but for readers who may not be, there are extensive endnotes that should give you enough familiarity to get all the relevant information in the book.
The book is about the 4th of the 10 Commandments, the commandment to “remember the Sabbath (the 7th day of the week) and keep it set apart” and to do no work on the Sabbath, nor to have anyone else work for you. This commandment is not only virtually ignored by most mainstream Christians, but those that do celebrate “The Lord’s Day” (their demonstrably man-made substitute for the Sabbath) do so on the first day of the week, Sunday, as it’s called in the Gregorian calendar in English. The book’s purpose is to convince the reader that Christians have not been released from the commandment to keep the Sabbath and that, indeed, the Catholic Church cheerfully admits that they made this change centuries ago with zero Biblical justification (one particularly interesting quip from a Catholic writer marvels at how Protestants didn’t do away with the Catholic concept of “The Lord’s Day” during the Reformation and how Protestants continue to worship on a day that was arbitrarily selected by the Roman Church). There is minimal discussion about how modern Judaism does the opposite of Christendom, i.e.: adding to the Law, extra-Biblically, but the book is pretty overtly aimed at the mainstream Christian reader.
I was already on board with keeping Sabbath, so I wasn’t converted by this book but I did appreciate the explanations that were contained within. The book is quite short and also well-written, so it was a very fast read. I’d like to read more of Bennett’s work in this series.

Another great read
If you really want answers about the Creator's sabbath and a great understanding this book is for you. The author really breaks it down and give you all the insight you need to understand. Each chapter prepares you for the next. It's a page Turner! HallaluYah!

Without a doubt, the Sabbath is Friday evening to Saturday evening. Why don't most Christians "Honor the Sabbath and keep it holy"? Read this book. It will not only make this 1 commandment (from the big list of 10) come alive for you, but it will help you become a better follower of Yeshuwah along the way.

Loving the whole series of 'Walk In The Light. I also read Kosher, Law and Grace and will be starting Covenants. For those of us seeking for a true understanding of what Scripture truly says on these misunderstood issues I recommend reading these books.

Enlightening
A thorough book regarding obedience to the Sabbath as taught in scripture. Well written and worth your time to read.
