Summary: Thank God for this book!
Comment: Most of us Christians haven't got a clue about sabbaths. On Sundays, we drive to our churches in the same clothes we wear to our jobs. We stand, sit, kneel, sing, feign interest in the sermon, or pray when the program says to, all with the appropriate pious solemnity. After an hour or so of this, we go home and hurriedly get out of our "Sunday best", satisfied that we've done our duty to our Father.
But thank God Abraham Heschel understood what a wonderful gift the Sabbath is and what a delight it can be. Thank God that he wrote this book, and that this book is still in print. I haven't been as blown away by anything in a long time. Buy it. You won't be the same.

Summary: Beautiful
Comment: Quite simply, this is one of the most beautiful, inspiring books I have ever read. Abraham Joshua Heschel, in a very short, accessible, clear manner, spells out the meaning of the Sabbath. I have been Jewish all my life, but realize now that I never truly understood Sabbath. The lessons in this book, which takes very little time to read, come back to me now every Friday night when I sit down with my family to say Shabbat prayers. It also has changed my approach to life the rest of the week, as Mr. Heschel explains the blessing of work and rest, and the place for each in life. Followers of other religions (certainly Christians) who have a day of rest will appreciate and benefit from the message of this book as much as Jewish individuals.

Summary: Beautifully written
Comment: This is a beautifuuly written, lyrical meditation on the importance and meaning of Shabbat. Very easy to read yet deeply meaningful and relevant to both Jews and non-Jews alike. Highly recommended
