When you hear, "Honor the Sabbath," do you immediately think, "Archaic Old Testament rules"? If so, might we ask, "Which of the other Ten Commandments should we ignore as archaic Old Testament rules?" In Lighten Up but Tighten Up, follow Sam Hunter as he leads you on a Sabbath quest for rest. Could you use a little more rest? A break from the mind-numbing routine of your day-to-day, week-to-week schedule? Sam introduces the cure: A new rhythm to your life that is released by setting one day a week aside. Could your family benefit from more time together-a quieter, slower, more meaningful time? Sam reveals the path to this peace for your family. Additionally, Sam shows that Jesus often admonished the religious authorities to lighten up about their minutia of rules but to tighten up where they needed to the most-their hearts. If you have forgotten about the Sabbath or think it no longer has relevance to your life, you will want to dive into this poignant, helpful, and-at times-funny, fresh Sabbath quest for rest.

This book is partially inspired by a legendary tale of Scheherazade in the One Thousand and One Nights. The main character, who narrates in the first person, experiences a series of disconcerting events, prompting her to question and examine her entire life; but she examine it in a larger context of a place and time in which she lives. A revelation, not in a form of cathartic acquittal of all the past fatuities but as an arduous process during which she thinks she may have found the meaning in a seemingly erratic life, set in motion all her powers, spurred memories of all the distant and recent past roles, and emerged as a discovery that the only role she unknowingly performed all her life was a role of an entertainer. She was ashamed at first since she desired a better calling, but the snapshots of her life kept reassuring her that in order to come to terms with her life, she had to accept her role. In the process of recovery, a tale of Scheherazade, in her words, aided the rescue of her self-respect.
