This is a very thorough book on Sabbath, provided me with lots of things to ponder on and process more. Lots of great examples, though at times it felt way more than a person could tackle. I think it is important to remember that it isn't necessary to apply it all, but to take from it what the Lord has called you to do. I would recommend this to those that want a deeper understanding and application of what and how to Sabbath.

The Sabbath Way is an eye opening book. I learned so much about not only what The Sabbath really is but what it truly means to live it.

I received an advanced reader’s copy from Tyndale and Netgalley. All opinions are my own.

I enjoyed this book for many reasons. It was filled with a lot of information on what it means to keep a Sabbath day, which of course looks different for every family and individual. It was a topic I have never put much research into, but this book inspired me to do so. It set me on a road of reading as many other books or articles on the subject I could find. The author used humor throughout the book while still supporting with facts and his own examples.

I had such high hopes for this book, but I just couldn't get through it. I made it to the halfway mark and had to give up. While I'm perfectly comfortable reading highly theoretical and theological books, this book struck me as too theoretical. The entire concept of the Sabbath was over-complicated and, at times, almost deified. With my background in academia, I've become familiar with theses and dissertations, and this is precisely how this reads. It seemed almost like the authors were trying to formulate a theoretical model for the Sabbath rather than giving real-world advice on how to practise it. I also have to disagree with some of the statements made from a theological perspective: God does not just dwell in the Sabbath, for instance, as the authors posit. I also got the feeling that Eastern practices were being applied to the Sabbath, which, obviously, won't work. This was just an unnecessarily heavy read that gave me almost no practical advice on how to practise the Sabbath outside of some Eastern practices.
