Sabbath Meditations is now available wherever books are sold.
This is a book that’s designed to be picked up, again and again, for moments of prayer and reflection as you gather with family or community on Sabbath.
If it’s helpful to you, we hope it becomes part of your tradition — one small way of keeping Sabbath as a day set apart to stop, rest, delight, and worship God.
You can buy the book, and find free Sabbath resources, at practicingtheway.org/sabbath-meditations or at the link in bio.

We don’t drift towards becoming like Jesus. Our natural trajectory is typically in the opposite direction.
That’s why we need to regularly and honestly reflect on who we’re becoming, and listen for the Spirit’s invitations and gentle warnings.
And one way to make space for that is through the Spiritual Health Reflection.

This excerpt is from the “Stop” section of Sabbath Meditations, available now at your favorite booksellers or at the link in our bio.
Sabbath can cause fear. Who am I if I’m not performing? What will happen if I don’t get things done?
But Sabbath is a gift from a loving, generous, wise God with good intentions toward us.
It’s a day to remember we’re not what we do, or what we have, or what people think of us.
We are who we are deeply loved by.
