Sabbath, God's day of rest, was treasured in years past for being a day where believers could share intimacy with God away from the busyness of life. However, in today's world, this season of rest has been replaced for another day of work, activity and chores. What readers need to learn again is the purpose of the Sabbath and how to implement this rest in their time spent with family. Author Dennis Gallaher provides a resource to believers through his forty-day devotional A Sabbath Rest, which offers faith-based readings for learning about the Sabbath. Using the Lord's prayer and other scripture verses, the devotional focuses on recognizing God's provision for believers, escaping time constraints and encouraging trust in the Lord through releasing control of life to Him. Most of all, A Sabbath Rest allows families to come together through educational activities, understanding collectively the need for resting time with God.
