First Day
Author John Andrews challenges us to look at our lives in the light of Adam and Eve's first day on the planet. Although 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. Sabbath teaches us the principle of working out of a place of rest in God, not simply resting from work. At its heart are three vital 1. Worship - which is God-centred. 2. Worth - we are beings, not do-ings. 3. Work - we work out of a proper understanding of our purpose through a clear insight into our value before God. 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.

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 :)
