Reviews"This is a book that may save your life. In a culture where few question that more is better,Sabbathoffers a surprising direction for healing to anyone who has ever glimpsed emptiness at the heart of a busy and productive life." --Rachel Naomi Remen, M.D., author ofKitchen Table Wisdom "This is a superb book--but more than superb, it is a necessary one. Wayne Muller's message is one of the wisest treatments of stress I have ever come across." --Caroline Myss, Ph.D., author ofAnatomy of the Spirit "Wayne Muller's book is dangerous. You will read it, share it with your family, and your longing for a weekly day of pampering your souls will become a reality." --Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi "Wayne Muller's call to remember the Sabbath is not only rich, wise and poetic, it may well be the only salvation for body and soul in a world gone crazy with busyness and stress." --Joan Borysenko, author ofMinding the Body, Mending the MindandA Woman's Book of Life "Wayne Muller has a remarkable ability to weave together the strands of different religious traditions to reveal how much they have in common." --George W. Webber, President Emeritus, New York Theological Seminary "Wayne Muller demonstrates with clarity and compassion that when we are given the space, the tools, and the permission to say no to the ever-increasing busyness that affects our lives, we find genuine rest and reconnection." --Sharon Salzberg, author ofA Heart as Wide as the World
