About this title

Synopsis

A Day of Rest offers ways you can find time for yourself, your soul, and your family life. Aided by personal stories, anecdotes, inspirational quotes, recommended rituals, and using the weekly tradition of honoring the Sabbath as a day of rest, the author explains uncomplicated ways to reintroduce serenity into your harried life. Finally, this book offers fifty-two innovative ideas--one for each week of the year--to rejuvenate your spirit. From solitude to frolic, from sharing a favorite childhood book with your children to chronicling your own random thoughts, you can develop and adapt these personal rituals to meet your needs and those of your family.
