Acclaimed poet theologian Nicola Slee reflects on and wrestles with questions of how to practice the scriptural principle of Sabbath in a church and world that have become compulsively driven, competitive and workaholic, obsessively activist and outcome-oriented. Slee's rich and inspiring exploration is rooted in her own poetry and that of Wendell Berry, in particular his profound Sabbath poems. Ideal reflective reading for Christians wishing to resist the materialistic pressures of the world.

Chapters include: An introduction to Sabbaths; The invitation 'into the woods'; The invitation to cessation; The invitation to encounter; The invitation to fear; The recovery of vocation; 'Coming out of the woods'.

Industry Reviews

'This is not only a very beautiful book to read, it is a very important one.' -- Paula Gooder
'This book is a series of invitations to be still, to go deep, and to hear again the songs that renew our life, the hidden heartbeat that sustains us, and if we will let it, brings us refreshment and renewal. Just dipping into this once a week could be the beginning of your Sabbath renewal.' -- Malcolm Guite
'Timely, necessary and quietly earth-shaking.' -- Rachel Mann
