Rest, stillness, and the Sabbath

Mark Buchanan frames the Sabbath as more than a day of restriction: the description presents it as a rhythm of rest and a practice linked to liberation, healing, care, celebration, and abundant life. The book considers how stillness can be overlooked in a busy society, drawing on Jesus’ practice of Sabbath and the contrast between its intended purpose and a rule-bound observance. Alongside this spiritual reflection, Buchanan offers practical advice for restoring Sabbath in everyday life. The central thread is the connection between rest, religious practice, and the way people make space for life beyond work.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults interested in Christian spiritual growth and Sabbath practice
  • Readers seeking practical guidance for incorporating rest and stillness into daily life

Book overview

Widely-acclaimed author Mark Buchanan states that what we've really lost is "the rest of God-the rest God bestows and, with it, that part of Himself we can know only through stillness." Stillness as a virtue is a foreign concept in our society, but there is wisdom in God's own rhythm of work and rest. Jesus practiced Sabbath among those who had turned it into a dismal thing, a day for murmuring and finger-wagging, and He reminded them of the day's true purpose: liberation-to heal, to feed, to rescue, to celebrate, to lavish and relish life abundant.

With this book, Buchanan reminds us of this and gives practical advice for restoring the sabbath in our lives.
