Finding Rest: When the Work is Never Done

Patrick Klingaman. Chariot Victor Publishing, $11.99 (201pp) ISBN 978-1-56476-788-2

Business writer Klingaman observes that while plenty of books and ser-mons expound upon the role of work in the Christian life, ""teaching on rest is in as short supply as rest itself."" He explores the need for a true Sabbath in our hurried and worried culture, emphasizing that Christians should keep the Sabbath not only because they need it but because God commanded it. Other insightful chapters explore the utility of retreats, daily quiet times and the need to step away from consumerism. This long-overdue book offers practical suggestions as well as thought-provoking theological insights on the need for rest. (Apr.)
