Sabbath Meditations - by John Mark Comer & Practicing the Way (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

From New York Times bestselling author John Mark Comer and the team at Practicing the Way, these simple, beautiful meditations offer a way to enter into the beauty of the Sabbath day and keep it holy, integrating spiritual formation into your personal and communal faith practice.

God designed the Sabbath to be a day like no other. It is an aftertaste of Eden--a time when all was as it was meant to be. And it is a forestate of eternity, of the "new heavens and new earth"--a day in which we anticipate and act out our glorious future as the people of God fully set free from the curse and made new under his good rule.

This collection of readings and Bible passages serves as your invitation into an intentional Sabbath practice, helping you to pause, along with your family or faith community, and more fully experience a day set apart, with four sections designed to help you to

• Stop
• Rest
• Delight
• Worship

Discover for yourself how Sabbath can be the best day of your week, and the anchor of your entire life with God, as you practice eternity by keeping this day holy.
