Publisher's Summary

Thomas Merton, toward the end of his life, warned of a "pervasive form of contemporary violence" that is unique to our times: overwork and overactivity. In his work as a minister and caregiver, Wayne Muller observed the effects of this violence on our communities, our families, and our people. He responds to this escalating "war on our spirits" in this audio guide, and immerses listeners in the sacred tradition of the shabbat - the day of rest - a tradition that is all but forgotten in an age where consumption, speed, and productivity have become the most valued human commodities. He offers practices and exercises that reflect the sabbath as recognized in Christianity, Judaism, and Buddhism. Through his way of nourishment and repose, Muller teaches, we welcome insights and blessings and arise only with stillness and time.

How much we all need this kind of rest!

Inspiring, thought-provoking, wise, and also educational — Wayne Muller has brought together many ideas and practises from friends, family, faith groups, cultures, and perhaps especially from Spirit. This is a short book, punctuated with silences and lovely music, and I will read it again and again… A.k.a. listen to it! I want to appreciate and honour the Sabbath, whenever I can manage to make it happen in fuller ways than I ever understood before.
