Take the Day Off: Receiving God's Gift of Rest

The last three words sum up Pastor Robert's whole invitation to us to learn about the commandment of God to honor the Sabbath and keep it holy...meaning set apart. It is a day dedicated to refilling your four depleted tanks of spirit, mind, emotions, and body through rest. Pastor Robert puts forth a lot of information, personal experiences, and reasons to persuade us as to the significant importance the Sabbath plays in our lives. He keeps it Biblically grounded. He even extends the subject of rest into the experience of the sabbatical. Because of his writing style and personal stories, it's a warm, friendly, fun read...but it packs a 👊, so be ready for it! I plan to practice the Sabbath now in my own life. It's a great book, and I highly recommend it, especially if you want to increase your faithfulness, service, and obedience to God. After all, the Sabbath is a commandment, as weighty in God's eyes as the other nine!

This book opened my eyes to the importance of rest and honoring the sabbath. It's informative, biblically based, providing sound information for the reader. If we followed God's plan more, we would have a much less stressed society. The truths in this book have really changed how I view my week and I take time now to recharge one day a week.

I enjoy listening to Pastor Robert speak and love his writing style as well. I started reading Take The Day Off shortly after leaving a job that was pulling me back into a less than relaxed state one I returned home each evening. Pastor Robert's weird were timely and gave me much to consider as I now find myself in the position to pursue my entrepreneurial dream. I will be sure to "take the day off" as directed by Pastor Robert but more importantly, by his Boss.

Wonderful book. When you read it, you will discover that rest is a gift! You will learn how to fill your tanks of family,friends, work, health, church, study,etc...and how you can connect with our Lord through the rest.

This book was written just for me. I am the “queen of busy” and love to be on the go. This book opened my eyes to the importance of the Sabbath rest and allowing ourselves to rest in the arms of the Father. There is so much biblical insight to the Sabbath from the Old and New Testaments. It’s a great book to read and use to reflect on your own priorities and commitments. I highly recommend it.

In Take the Day Off Robert Morris encourages Christians to obey the commandment to take one day a week off from our usual day-to-day activities (spiritual, mental, physical, and emotional) to instead focus on our relationship with God. With outstanding research and scriptural authority, Morris answers our practical questions of what a Sabbath is and who should observe it. He persuasively explains when, why, and how to honor the Lord's day. I highly recommend this book!

This Author is talented, knowledgeable, and humorous. Practical information, good sense and good for one's health.

God has given pastor Roberts a very strong truth in this book I wish every parent would read.When I look back at my life, If I followed this truth my outcome could have been so much better.Remember the Lord of all the universe took a day off. And on the seventh day He rested.
