Many people today feel overwhelmed by their hectic, work- and success driven existence - exhausted, empty and out of whack. Where can we find relief? And how can we achieve better balance?

This book provides an answer, offering a contemporary approach to the ancient practice of taking a day of rest each week. Examining Jewish and Christian traditions of keeping the Sabbath, it encourages readers to develop their own rituals, tailoring them to their circumstances. Evocative, expressive photographs enhance and support exploring how to best create a period of rest and rejuvenation and restore balance in our lives with our family, our friends, and ourselves.
