NEW BOOK BY RUTH HALEY BARTON: COMING OCT 11, 2022

Embracing Rhythms of Work and Rest: From Sabbath and Sabbatical and Back Again

"God gave us the Sabbath. Jesus taught us that we weren’t made for the Sabbath but that Sabbath was made for us. Ruth Haley Barton reminds us that Sabbath time is our time, our chance to rest, to worship God, to forgive each other, to taste a wee bit of heaven, and to be more in sympathy with all that is, not least our own lives."
Ronald Rolheiser (from foreword)

Why you should pre-order a book?

1. Pre-ordering a book helps the author
When you preorder a book, it tells bookstores people want this book, which makes them typically stock more copies of the book, which of course means more people see it and buy it.
2. Pre-ordering guarantees the lowest price
Many book stores including Amazon offer a “preorder price guarantee” which means if you preorder a book and the price drops, you will get the best price.
