Publisher Description
Thomas Merton, toward the end of his life, warned of a "pervasive form of contemporary violence" that is unique to our times: overwork and overactivity. In his work as a minister and caregiver, Wayne Muller observed the effects of this violence on our communities, our families, and our people. He responds to this escalating "war on our spirits" in this audio guide, and immerses listeners in the sacred tradition of the
shabbat - the day of rest - a tradition that is all but forgotten in an age where consumption, speed, and productivity have become the most valued human commodities. He offers practices and exercises that reflect the sabbath as recognized in Christianity, Judaism, and Buddhism. Through his way of nourishment and repose, Muller teaches, we welcome insights and blessings and arise only with stillness and time.
Customer Reviews
Boooooooooo!
This book is terrible. Sounds Christian but is not (all kinds of Buddhist and Muslim practices are referenced). Read Leading on Empty by Wayne Cordeiro instead (or The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer).
