The Sabbath Way: Making Room in Your Life for Rest, Connection, and Delight

by Travis West, Winn Collier (foreword)

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

In the fast-paced, chaotic, overly scheduled cadence of our culture, 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 rather to take over our lives—in the best way imaginable?

Hebrew scholar and Old Testament professor Travis West believes that we’ve 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 means much more than sleeping in, taking naps, 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 Christians how to make Sabbath rest the metronome that establishes and maintains our life’s rhythms, apprenticing us to abundance our whole life long.

I feel so grateful for my encounter with God and delight via this book’s invitation to a Sabbath life. Travis West’s compassionate tone, theological acuity, and realistic personal narratives took me on a journey into my own resistances to rest, joy, and honesty, giving me hope for a better way. I especially appreciate the author’s engagement with a variety of poetry, voices from many disciplines, and elements of the natural world. I also loved the structure within each section of orientation, disorientation, and reorientation.
Thank you for this beautiful witness to Sabbath life!

Using his love of Hebrew, poetry, and teaching, Travis West guides you through a better understanding of the Sabbath, not as a mandate,
but as God’s desire for you to live a relaxed and joyful life.

I was very honored to receive an arc from @tyndalehouse for an honest review 🫶🏼 thank you so much.

This book is exactly what the Church needs right now. The Sabbath Way is not just a theological unpacking of the Sabbath—though it is deeply rooted in Scripture—it’s a heartfelt, beautifully written call to return to God’s rhythm of rest, presence, and delight. Travis West doesn’t just tell you why Sabbath matters; he shows you what it can look like to live it out—and why it’s worth fighting for.

What struck me most was how approachable and reflective this book is. West doesn’t lecture. He invites. Through personal stories, biblical truths, and honest questions that prompt self-reflection, he helps the reader slow down long enough to really ask:
“Am I living the way God designed me to live? Am I working and resting in a way that reflects my Creator?”

West’s insight that work and rest are both sacred because they mirror God’s own rhythm in creation deeply impacted me. Sabbath is not just a command—it’s a gift. A delight. A way to reconnect to God, to family, to joy, and even to yourself.

He breaks down misconceptions about Sabbath that many of us grew up with—whether we saw it as legalistic or irrelevant—and shows how this ancient practice is just as vital today. And he doesn’t shy away from hard truths: if we don’t choose rest, we will eventually be forced into it. But when we choose Sabbath, we find restoration, freedom, and a renewed intimacy with God.

I finished this book feeling both convicted and encouraged. I want to make changes. I want to slow down. I want to delight in God—not just squeeze Him into the margins of a busy life.

If you’re weary, spiritually dry, burned out, or simply curious about the beauty of biblical rest, The Sabbath Way is for you. I can already tell this is a book I’ll return to again and again. It’s not just a book about Sabbath—it’s a book that helps you live it.

Highly, highly recommend

Travis West takes readers by the hand and shows them why slowing down and living intentionally is of utmost importance. “I couldn’t imagine a more delightful companion” to lead us on this journey! He shows the importance of making time for “being” over “doing,” for setting aside a portion of the time given to us for delight and play. This “unproductive time” re-souls a person, refreshes them, reminds a person what their priorities really are. After all, (as Annie Dillard says) “how we spend our days is how we spend our lives.”

Do we want to spend that time snapping at our child, riding the bumper of the person in front of us in traffic, pouring our free time into the distraction of social media, running ourselves ragged to avoid productivity shame? Slowing down allows us to reconnect with our own bodies, truly see and appreciate the every day miracles that surround us on a daily basis (like looking at the sky, admiring a caterpillar, feeling a loved one’s hand in ours), give those we love our full attention and feel gratitude instead of scarcity… to truly be present in life instead of rushing through it.

West lists words associated with fast: busy, controlling, aggressive, hurried, stressed, impatient, superficial. Then he lists words associated with slow: calm, careful, receptive, patient, reflective. Which list of words resonated with how you’d like to approach life? Impatience doesn’t change how long we wait - just how we wait (full of anxiety, irritation, reactivity). Why not choose kindness and compassion?

Dr. West’s love of language shines through in his writing, with his examples of Tikkun Olam (repairing the world one tiny bit at a time such as by raking the leaves, setting some tiny thing right), and his inclusion of poetry and blessings throughout the book. I liked the example of there being a Jewish blessing for everything - even for receiving bad news- but also for taking the first breath in the morning and for seeing a rainbow. Also “shehecheyanu” the specific blessing for when something happens that hasn’t happened in awhile - like eating the first strawberry of the season or seeing an old friend. A portion of this particular blessing is “You have caused us to touch this moment in time” and I thought that was beautiful.

The book touches on many themes including consumerism, compassionate food choices, social justice, environmentalism, dualism, etc - all to bring us back to the question of - Is the pursuit you pour your time into worthy of a life? The stakes are high!

The prompts and reflection questions at the ends of the chapters were my favorite parts (his suggestions include skipping to your next meeting to instill play/break up monotony, truly savoring your food as you try to craft the perfect bite, as well as writing gratitude haiku, among many others).

I was lucky enough to read a copy with a personalized inscription: “May you always make time for what matters most to you.” Very thought provoking.

West delves into the concept of time, challenging us to see seasons of slowness (such as illness or unproductiveness) in our lives as a gift, to reevaluate how we want to live. He describes different ways of viewing time - as a flower (such as an arc leading out and coming back to the same spot such as Christmas to Christmas) or as a rowboat (we are faced backwards as we paddle into the future).

We have “complex, messy, and beautiful lives.” Take a bit of time from your messy, complex, beautiful life to “sit beneath the waving branches and rest awhile in the beauty of the world” while contemplating “how do we live a life worthy of our breath?”

Eh, I've read much better books on the Sabbath. This book kinda lost me when he started bringing in the native American belief that everything is sacred (ummm, go to your Bible, dude, you won't find that concept there) and Mother Earth loving you back (so weird, because up until that point he had been solid).
While some of the early parts of the book were good, I would recommend 24/6: A Prescription for a Healthier, Happier Lifen long before this book.

[Jordan Satterthwaite · Rating 5 out of 5]

Really, just such a great book. One that doesn’t get bogged down with heavy theological talk or strict behavior modification, but one that offers great insights into how our culture is so set up AGAINST Sabbath. It takes a deep look into our culture, the Word of God, how those are oppose related to this matter, and gives very simple, yet convicting examples on how we don’t receive God’s rest in today’s age. West also offers practical guidelines for taking steps towards a deeper rest - a sort of state of being - that allows for adaptation no matter your life circumstance. It breathes hope into the soul of those longing for a deeper rest, and life into the body that this can actually be attained. Would highly recommend to everyone (you can borrow my copy)!

The Sabbath Way has been a wonderful encouragement to read as it helps us see the importance of practicing Sabbath and finding rest in the midst of our full lives. Travis offers many opportunities to think deeply about not only Sabbath practices themselves, but also some underlying frameworks from which we view life, our priorities, and our values. Sabbath gives us the opportunity to pause and look more deeply into our thought patterns, perceptions, our work, our drivenness, and other behaviors that keep us on the fast track of life. In our humanness, our tendency is to produce, go faster, accomplish more, and not be in touch with who we are and with our relationship with God. Travis explains in a variety of ways how we can continue to come before the Lord in our Sabbath practices, allowing him to transform our hearts, our frameworks, and our goals to be more in line with God's kingdom. I especially appreciated the way Travis digs into various scripture passages, allowing us to see the deeper meaning of the Biblical perspectives and also giving insight into various Greek and Hebrew terms. This allows us to understand scripture and what it says about Sabbath. I appreciated the practices and questions at the end of each chapter, allowing us to reflect on what we read about in the chapter and so we can begin pondering ways to be more intentional about practicing Sabbath. Travis’s writing style is engaging and personable. I appreciate his willingness to be vulnerable and open as he shares his own encouragement with Sabbath practices as well as challenges. He helps us to see that Sabbath is an ongoing journey of practicing how to rest, find delight and joy, and slowing down to a pace that opens one up to reflection and intentional living. Travis invites us to consider how we may view Sabbath as invitational and not a set of “rules” we have to follow. In The Sabbath Way, we are invited to the deeper work of looking at the things in our lives that have become barriers to finding rest and wholeness. Examining these things helps us get to the root of what may need transformation in our lives and invites us into God’s presence. The Sabbath gives us space to begin unpacking those things and draw nearer to God for healing, restoration, and deep encounter. This book is one that I look forward to returning to often as I seek to grow in my Sabbath practices and pay attention to the ways God is bringing me more toward wholeness.

The Sabbath Way, by Travis West. Our church chose this book as our summer read for the month of July. I really enjoyed this book. There were many passages that highlighted for future reference. The author begins by formulating past/current thoughts on the concept of work. And also the concept of Sabbath.

The author spends time speaking on the different cultures and history of work. A culture where every thing has to be earned, and we earn money by working, therefore allowing us to buy things we want. The underlying mentality is that I can have everything if only I work hard enough. But, then when we don’t have everything, there is a growing resentment. A quote from the book stuck with me “When everything is filtered through a lens of earning and reward, it cultivates a sense of entitlement that animates greed and justifies ownership and possession. When that perspective is reinforced by power— whether social,political, spiritual, cultural, economic, or military power—its effects can be devastating. History is strewn with the casualties this perspective has justified.”

Many times people equate Sabbath with the word “no”. We have to “stop” doing something that we normally do. The author tries to get the point across that real Sabbath means saying “yes” to the important components of life. When your life is full of important, core valued, actions/people then the things that get dropped out aren’t something you want to do anyway. So it really isn’t saying no. That really resonates with me.

The book is full of personal stories/antidotes of the authors life. I found that to be an enjoyable aspect of the book. The author “walks the talk” of what he says throughout the book. The author and his wife have lived the sabbath life for more than 20 years.

Even if my life doesn’t mirror that of author going forward, it is better than it was before.

🌟🌟🌟
The Sabbath Way is beautifully written and genuinely thoughtful. Travis West invites readers into a slower, more intentional rhythm of life by recovering the biblical practice of Sabbath. His tone is gentle, reflective, and pastoral. As someone who often wrestles with hurry, I found his invitation both timely and needed.

That said, while I appreciated the heart behind the book, I also felt that it occasionally drifted into a vague spirituality that lacked theological depth. Sabbath is presented mostly as a rhythm for personal wellness and delight—which it certainly includes—but it isn’t clearly grounded in God’s covenantal design or tied to the Lord’s Day as the early church understood it. The book often emphasizes connection, rest, and emotional restoration but doesn’t always center that rest on delighting in God Himself.

From a Reformed Baptist perspective, I would’ve loved to see more biblical exposition and a firmer theological foundation. Where is Christ in this vision of Sabbath? Where is worship, the gathered church, or the resurrection pattern of rest and renewal? These elements seemed absent or underdeveloped.

Still, I’m grateful for this book. It challenged me to make space—not just for less activity, but for more awareness of God’s presence. And while I wish it had leaned more into Scripture and gospel-centered rest, I can see how it might stir reflection in a culture obsessed with productivity.

Best for: those exploring Sabbath rhythms for the first time, especially from a reflective or contemplative background.
Less ideal for: readers wanting a rich theological dive into the Sabbath as fulfilled and transformed in Christ.

Sabbath isn’t meant to fit into life’s chaos—it’s meant to reorient it. This invitation to radical rest reframes Sabbath as a daily posture of delight, gratitude, and abundance. Through story and biblical insight, it shows how Sabbath disrupts hurry, reshapes priorities, and fosters a flourishing life rooted in God’s presence, justice, and joy.

I attended this book’s event at @baker_book_house and really enjoyed the author’s panel discussion! Sabbath is so often something we try to control, which is hilarious because its very purpose is to reorient us away from any value we place on self-sufficiency. That’s why our Sabbath practice efforts can feel incomplete—we also need a Sabbath posture. Travis creatively offers so many practical habits to help us begin embracing Sabbath as an everyday way of life:

* Drive the speed limit—regardless of whether you are running late
* Cover your clocks during your weekly Sabbath
* Take daily small tech pauses
* Resist multitasking while you eat
* Pause to look around you
* Say “no” when you want to say “no”
* Set your phone on airplane mode in the evenings

Sure, this guide is filled with compelling Old Testament analysis and a succinct theological framework, but Travis’ inspiring honesty and unique tips are where this book truly shines.

Thank you @tyndalehouse for the eARC 🤍

Reading The Sabbath Way did my soul good as I had grown up in the deep south as part of a religious tradition that made Sunday the most hated day of my week.

Our uber fundamentalist church took the Sabbath very seriously, which meant that my childhood Sunday afternoons were spent indoors reading our Sunday School Papers (yes, I’m dating myself).

I’m much more theologically astute now, but as I read The Sabbath Way, I realized there were still vestiges of resentment hidden away in the dank caverns of my soul.

Professor West goes deep pedagogically, but equally compellingly as a practitioner whose lenses are colored by years of living in the Holy Land and experiencing a lifestyle where Sabbath is the central organizing practice around which everything else revolves.

Most helpful, The Sabbath Way is written with an enlightened awareness that almost every value-system of our modern age is a barrier to Sabbath values; and that a Sabbath-shaped life is not so easily possessed. The author is brutally honest about their failures and the key learnings that got them over the humps.

The Sabbath Way is a hopeful book. Dr. West casts a welcoming vision for the benefice and beauty of a Sabbath-shaped life; and with a scholarly and seasoned hand shines a light on the path.

Really enjoyed the content! Audiobook still isn’t my best format, but it’s a convenient way to consume published content even while my body does things like jigsaw puzzles. I added a few books to my TBR list from those the author recommends on his website.


Lingering takeaways:

1. Sabbath is for play, joy, and rest. That can look different for different people, so if you’re in community with other Sabbath-ing folks, you’ll need to communicate about that.

2. Gently push back against the drive to constantly be productive, or the pressure to “have something to show” for your Sabbath practice/s. That’s not what it’s about.

3. A Sabbath mindset/lifestyle affects not just what your Sabbath day looks like, but will also shape the rest of your week.

4. I particularly like the underlying current that Christianity is relevant to our life right now, and not just focused on “life after death,” which I feel is a missing piece in the spirituality I was raised on.


Final thought:
The oft-quoted purpose of humans is to glorify God and enjoy him forever. Our modern Christianity is struggling to understand what the second half of that truly means / looks like, but books like The Sabbath Way bring us closer.

[LaCosta Van Dyk · Rating 5 out of 5]

While I have long appreciated the need for Sabbath, as a busy woman, mother, and pastor it seemed impossible to make Sabbath a reality in my life. I often felt guilt about my lack of Sabbath or that I wasn't "doing it correctly"; I found myself wondering if there were ways I could be more efficient at resting.
Travis has spent years learning to truly embody Sabbath and its gifts, and this book is the fruit of that embodiment. This book approaches Sabbath as an inner approach to life more than our external actions on a particular day. Attending to our inner realities and "unlearning" our anxiety and self-sufficiency allows us to rest more fully. More than just that, though, an internal embodiment of the Sabbath allows God's gift of Sabbath to become a way of living that gives life in every moment of every day. Resting in God is so much more than a list of "dos" and "don'ts" for particular days of the week; Travis helps us to see that it allows us to find joy and rest in the mundane moments of life. Resting in God is meant to permeate our entire being, and this is the gift of Sabbath: rest, worship, and delight.

[Lexie · Rating 5 out of 5]

I count this book as a “life changer.” From start to finish, I found myself desperate to practice the rest, delight, and joy West asks readers to practice not just during one Sabbath day, but throughout the week. I recommend this book to anyone willing and ready to radically change their understanding of the Sabbath to what God teaches in the Bible, to Israel, and to those who have accepted Christ as their Lord and Savior. And to not only change your understanding, but to practice the Sabbath in your everyday life as God intended. The Sabbath is radical, which is why the Israelites didn’t practice it for 70 years, and was exiled for the same amount of time because of that malpractice. This book will be one I reference often as I begin my Sabbath journey. I don’t think I would have appreciated this teaching prior to these past five years, so reading it now is all God’s timing. Praise the Lord!

[Maria · Rating 4 out of 5]

West argues that to have a Sabbath habit is to put rest—and delight, gratitude, and flourishing—first rather than last. And that it is stepping out of time, that allows us to enjoy our lives to the fullest. That a Sabbath practice leads to more justice in the world. More connection, and more trust.

Why I started this book: Another Sabbath title. I'm trying to be better about have a slow religious book to read on Sunday to help my worship.

Why I finished it: West and his wife, have been practicing Sabbath. In this book he talks about Sabbath and time, community, work and creation. What stood out to me, was his practice of Sabbath being a delight... and leaving time for him and his wife to find delight on Sunday. I also need to work on hosting more Sunday dinners to spend time with friends.

Travis is an engaging story-teller, and with this book, he pulls you in - not only to his own life and journey of learning (and re-learning) how to live a Sabbath life, but also to the life and heart of God in the gift of Sabbath. His writing isn't just for the professional theologian - you don't need to have a PhD to understand what Travis is teaching. And yet, it also digs deeply into issues of ethics and theology, causing the reader to think and wonder about how life could be different if we actually *practiced* the Sabbath. This book would make an incredible book study for a small group while also being a fabulous resource for the individual. If you're exhausted and worn out, if you've been living in burnout and wonder to yourself, "is there a different way?" I wholeheartedly invite you to engage with The Sabbath Way.

Review of The Sabbath Way by Travis West

My often love/hate relationship with the concept of Sabbath made me take a deep breath before I dove into this book. However, I know a bit of Dr. West’s work, and I especially trusted his work with Sabbath, so I took the leap believing I was in good hands. I’m so glad I did. This book is not a how-to book. It does not imagine we are all the same in our needs and experiences. It is not arrogant in thinking it has found a new or better way to experience one day of rest. On the contrary, it is humble and winsome. It is an invitation to live more intentionally, to begin to move toward living better. Better in personal life, in relationship with people, and in relationship with creation. That is the hope and the promise of living in The Sabbath Way. For me it is a profound book and deeply moving.

[Anna · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was really informative. The Sabbath practice is one that is extensively researched, and there are many books about it. However, Travis approached it in a new manner and really looked at how Sabbath is more than just a day, it’s a lifestyle. It’s a way to deepen your connection with God and improve your overall quality of life. It’s critical to mental. Physical and spiritual wellbeing. I loved that he ended each chapter with reflection questions and a practice to help you adapt your own practices surrounding the discipline of Sabbath.

I received an ARC through NetGalley but all opinions expressed are my own.

I’ve fallen in and out of a sabbath practice for years. After the last few years of my life, which can only be described with the language of “wilderness,” reading just the first chapter of The Sabbath Way has been like water from the rock. I am reminded that everything I crave: delight and peace and joy and connection, are all a part of the Sabbath. The way out of the wilderness may very well be led by the Sabbath. Travis’ writing is practical, compassionate, and challenging. I don’t feel shamed for falling out of a Sabbath practice. I feel invited into the grace and sustenance that the Sabbath has to offer me. Looking forward to finishing this book and practicing the Sabbath way.

[Sammy Beuker · Rating 5 out of 5]

I LOVED this book. I have read a few books on Sabbath and I appreciated how this one was NOT like any of the others. Instead of long, theological background to a traditional Sabbath practice, Travis frames it through tearing down, building a new understanding, and then building up new practices in 4 areas of life: work, time, connection, and community. I loved how gentle and genuine this book was to allowing that modern life is complicated, but Sabbath rest is still necessary and do-able for the modern believer. I recommend this to the faith oriented person who is curious about how a Sabbath practice could bring rest and peace to the middle of a busy life.

[Nicole Hardwick]

Picked up and put down many times working to get through this title. I was very interested in getting the book as I've been reading through many recently regarding Sabbath, however this feels like a dense text book. In some sections I struggled to find how it was going to overlap going into Sabbath meaning and living. Going back and reading again the author is a Hebrew scholar and a professor it makes sense. So if someone were to pickup the book, I'd go into it with that desire and framework.

I personally don't give stars to books I don't finish, but this book wasn't for me.

Thank you Netgalley for this copy of the book, the opinions are my own.

I started this book months ago, then got distracted by the busyness of life and pastoring, so I finally finished it on vacation.

Irony of ironies, this book is precisely what my soul needed this year. Not a list of sabbath do’s and don’ts, not a finger-wagging “because God says so” in sight. Instead, this book is a true invitation to delight, shalom, justice, rest, creativity, wonder, and gratitude. I can’t wait to read it again with my whole church.

This book is amazing. It is well written, well researched, interesting, and intelligent. It teaches a mindset and paints a picture over giving a step by step guide. Even with that it gives some neat ideas and journaling prompts to assist. Wonder, delight, and gratitude are key themes throughout the chapters and really creates a soothing mindset. It’s about creating a posture of life, not just a day off. The book is divided into four sections and how the sabbath interacts: work, time, community, and creation. It’s a great read

The author writes with a warmth and accessibility that welcomes the reader to ponder and wonder the way of living the sabbath.
