Reviews
"""I consider Ruth Haley Barton a treasured gift to the church! Ruth knows what she is talking about. Her mind, heart, and soul shine on the pages of Embracing Rhythms of Work and Rest. Ruth is a rare, trustworthy guide for the person in need of deep rest."" Todd Hunter, bishop, Churches for the Sake of Others, and author of Deep Peace: Finding Calm in a World of Conflict and Anxiety ""In the face of the demographic shifts and national divisions happening in our world today, many leaders are often frustrated, fatigued, and despondent, desperately searching for a different way forward. That is exactly what Ruth Haley Barton offers us in this groundbreaking, new book Embracing Rhythms of Work and Rest. This is an invitation for leaders to take the next step into sabbath living that gives them life and longevity in ministry. It is also a prophetic wake-up call, leading us away from individualism into the communal practice of sabbath keeping as it was always meant to be. I highly recommend this book for all those who deeply desire to find a new way of life together in community that brings true healing and wholeness. I could not be more excited for this much-needed and timely book!"" Brenda Salter McNeil, author of Becoming Brave and Roadmap to Reconciliation 2.0: Moving Communities into Unity, Wholeness and Justice"
