This rings especially true for pastors and leaders who carry the weightof nonstop responsibility. Most know they need rest but might be surprised to find within themselves a deep resistance to letting go and resting in God one day a week, let alone for longer seasons of sabbatical.\nThe journey to a meaningful sabbath practice is slow and gradual, and it is a journey we need to take in community. Sharing her own story of practicing sabbath for the past twenty years, Ruth Haley Barton offers hard-won wisdom regarding the rhythms of sabbath, exploring both weekly sabbath keeping as well as extended periods of sabbatical time.\nIn Embracing Rhythms of Work and Rest, you'll find: Practical steps for embedding sabbath rhythms in churches and organizations, grounding us in God's intentions in giving us the gift of sabbath, An opportunity at the end of each chapter to reflect and engage God around your own journey with the material, and A conversation guide for small groups and communities to foster transformation on a community-level.\n\nSabbath is more than a practice―it is a way of life ordered around God's invitation to regular rhythms of work, rest, and replenishment that will sustain us for the long haul of life in leadership.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1514002639\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1514002639.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Barton, Ruth Haley|Rolheiser, Ronald\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
