Winner- 2026 Selah Award (Non-fiction)
The Church has long wrestled with spiritual formation, especially how the unity of Scripture holds together at the intersection of the Old and New Covenants. Few themes speak to these concerns more directly than the Sabbath. Yet for generations, the conversation has been shaped more by tradition, denominational boundaries, and reactionary teaching than by Scripture's own redemptive storyline. Rethinking the Sabbath offers the clarity and steadiness the Church has long needed, opening a path toward restoration, renewal, and genuine reformation.
Rethinking the Sabbath invites the Church at large to experience, through Scripture’s steady and gracious pattern of the Sabbath, what the 18th-century pastor and theologian Jonathan Edwards describes as the Spirit’s “divine and supernatural light,” which personally illuminates the heart’s understanding. Rather than stirring division, this work gently and biblically disarms arguments on every side, creating a sacred space where saints can gather around the Word with renewed wonder. It offers a fresh, clarifying perspective on the Sabbath, deeply rooted in Scripture, surprisingly life-giving and unifying, and capable of drawing believers together across denominational lines.
In this light, the Sabbath is not a point of contention but a place of worship, unity, and spiritual renewal. It calls believers to recover a biblically rich vision of the Sabbath, woven into the heart of the Christian story, adding depth and clarity to existing structures and practices without unsettling them. Believers are invited into a deeper Rest that nurtures renewal, fosters gentle reformation, and invigorates the shared life of the Body of Christ. This rest can help Christians seeking to grow in faith breathe more deeply and walk more closely with Christ.
