Sabbath Sense : A Spiritual Antidote for the Overworked

by Donna Schaper

The reality of Sabbath as a day of rest has been lost in our busy society, but the "sense" of Sabbath as spiritual leisure is very much needed in our time-starved world. Donna Schaper maintains that Sabbath moments are any moments that actively include the presence of God. By presenting solutions to overwork, "Sabbath Sense" is the perfect antidote to anxieties felt in two-career families.

I've read this book a couple of times and it has helped me get out of my 'task list, next meeting' mindset to be more present and have more meaning in my life. I especially liked it this year as an advent practice, as it framed my thinking about spiritual time and spiritual priorities.

A perfect read for slowing down and focusing on family, meaning, all that's really important in life. Absolutely loved it.

[Carie Hughey · Rating 1 out of 5]

The chapter headings offer great hope and then as you dive into her writing it "just misses the mark".
