NORMAN
WIRZBA, PH.D., is the chair of the philosophy department at Georgetown College
in Kentucky. Mention Sabbath and most people envision a day of rest or possibly
attendance at a worship service. But for Wirzba, Sabbath is a way of life
untangled from a consumer-dominated economy in order to slow down and appreciate
life: "Put simply, Sabbath discipline introduces us to God's own ways of joy and
delight." This book will humble, fascinate, but most of all challenge spiritual
seekers to pursue the fullness of Sabbath. To order this book,
