    About this ebook

    We all desperately long for rest, especially after the last few years of toil and economic turmoil, within a culture that was already dysfunctionally and desperately workaholic. But how do you get away from it all long enough to really rest? And what is rest, anyway? Peggy Wilson presents a number of stories of people who have managed to take a sabbatical break, despite the difficulties, and who have made unexpected discoveries along the way. She also looks at the ancient practice of sabbatical, which is closely connected to Sabbath observance, and finds several aspects of sabbatical rest that are helpful for our own time. She has some practical tips for making a sabbatical happen, but concludes that a sabbatical rest may just as well come serendipitously from God, as it did in her case.
