In his book, Sabbath, Dan B. Allender does a wonderful job of challenging us to keep the Sabbath holy. And, as if we need yet another person in our lives telling us what we "should" be doing, he does it in such a way that makes it something that we want to do. Because, after all, the Sabbath is a gift from God, given for our own enjoyment and restoration. Allender's writing style is easy to follow and the book is a moderately fast read. Allender lays out what he believes the Sabbath to mean (with biblical references of course) and gives helpful suggestions for how to transform the Sabbath into what God intended it to be. If you feel that you could be getting more out of your Sabbaths or wonder if there's just anything more to this holy day, I recommend this book. At 194 pages, it is not overwhelmingly long, plus it has a study guide in the back, making it a good choice for both personal study as well as group studies.
I received this book from Thomas Nelson's Booksneeze program and am under no obligation to provide a positive review.
