Sabbath Keeping
Finding Freedom in the Rhythms of Rest

by Lynne M. Baab
InterVarsity Press
ISBN: 0-8308-3258-0; paper; 132 pp. (2005)

This is the first Christian book on the sabbath to draw on dozens of interviews with real-life sabbath keepers. The sabbath is discussed as a way to learn to experience God’s grace, and practical suggestions are given for

  • what to cease doing on the sabbath and
  • what to do to draw near to God.

Publishers Weekly Starred Review:

"Winsome, passionate and persuasive, Sabbath Keeping will convince many Christians of the continuing relevance of the Fourth Commandment."
