For pastors and leaders, the possibility of living in balanced rhythms of work and rest feels elusive. Ruth Haley Barton offers hard-won wisdom regarding rhythms of Sabbath, grounds us in God's intentions in giving us the gift of sabbath, and provides practical steps for embedding Sabbath rhythms into our churches and organizations.

Much of our faith and practice is about words-preaching, teaching, talking with others. Yet all of these words are not enough to take us into the real presence of God. This book is an invitation to meet God deeply and fully through solitude and silence. This expanded edition includes a guide for groups to use for both discussion and practice.

This participant's guide from Ruth Haley Barton, designed for use with the six-session Sacred Rhythms DVD study, provides guidance for you and your group in a way that links the disciplines of the Christian faith to the most compelling desires of the human soul.
