Publisher Description
In The Practice of Saying No, beloved author and preacher Barbara Brown Taylor reflects on the meaning of keeping the Sabbath: of saying no to work and doing, but instead celebrating stopping, resting on the porch, and taking the time to recognize our interconnectedness. The Practice of Saying No will appeal to anyone seeking more meaning and spirituality in their everyday lives. Barbara Brown Taylor, acclaimed author of Leaving Church and An Altar in the World (from which this eSelect is taken), writes with the honesty of Elizabeth Gilbert (Eat, Pray, Love) and the spiritual depth of Anne Lamott (Grace, Eventually) and reveals how to encounter the sacred as a natural part of everyday life.
Customer Reviews
Not relatable if you are not Christian
I found this book good for someone that is Christian. I thought it would go more into real life situations teaching people how to learn to say no to things. I thought it would touch more on philosophies and techniques in dealing with society and how to overcome the pressure to say yes to everything. I thought this would teach how to say no respectfully without feeling guilty. All she talked about in this book is to remember the sabbath and give yourself a full day of rest without technology.
