Book News: we’ll be using Norman Wirzba Living the Sabbath (Brazos 2006) as our main recommended book to accompany the course and the weekend. This is a wonderful little book that will force you to rethink not just what you thought ‘sabbath’ is all about but the rest of your life as well (pun intended, but as you’ll find out in the course, ‘rest’ is more than you bargained for!).

As Wendell Berry says in his foreword, ‘Norman Wirzba’s book asks what kind of human life it takes to include the Sabbath. It is high time somebody asked. As this book shows, what is implied is a set of answers dangerous to ignore.’

You can read the teaser at Amazon.com

The course and the weekend don’t follow exactly the order of Wirzba’s book but you’ll soon see how they fit together!

Copies of the book will be available, at a small discount, on the first night of the course (January 15 2007).
