Garden City: Work, Rest, and the Art of Being Human.
by John Mark Comer
With my word for 2016 being rhythm, it seemed only appropriate that I read this book about work and rest and the balance of our lives in all of it. It was BEAUTIFULLY designed-- minimalistic, tons of white space, sans serif fonts, simplistic line illustrations as symbols... just so good. The book was solid for sure, but nothing that totally blew me away, despite some high praise I had heard from friends. In InterVarsity in college, we did a series on Sabbath that rocked my world, and my church has done some equally powerful series on Sabbath rest as well, so I think those shaped my view on Sabbath, leaving the points made in this book slightly flat since they weren't brand new to me. Much of this book was a refreshing reminder on the way we were created to create and live and worship, so I do strongly recommend it, and I feel like those with less study of Sabbath might get even more goodness out of it. Do read this one!
