The reality of Sabbath as a day of rest has been lost in our busy society, but the "sense" of Sabbath as spiritual leisure is very much needed in our time-starved world. Donna Schaper maintains that Sabbath moments are any moments that actively include the presence of God. By presenting solutions to overwork, "Sabbath Sense" is the perfect antidote to anxieties felt in two-career families.

Review:

One of the best things about this timely and spiritually rich book is its playfulness. Schaper writes: "Mostly we don't find the meaning, or the merry in our experiences because we don't reflect on them." Let this book slow you down. Let it tickle your fancy. Let it nourish the hungry places inside you. Let it lead you back to the merry in your life and in your longing. Above all, let it lure you back to the spiritual practice of play which is one of the hiding places of Spirit. -- Values and Visions, Dec 1997
