STAFF PICKS--The Gift of Rest

Carol's Pick...  The Gift of Rest:  Rediscovering the Beauty of the Sabbath, by Senator Joe Lieberman, David Klinghoffer 

Synopsis:

As a busy United States senator, Joseph Lieberman knows how hectic life can be; as an observant Jew, he knows that that the Sabbath is a gift that has anchored, order, and inspired him over many decades. In The Gift of Rest, he describes how that ancient practice can enhance the meaningfulness of lives of men and women of all faiths. He shows that a true day of rest has countless benefits that are not supplied by our typical weekends of hectic activity. A call to restorative recentering.

Carol says:  I liked this book because it was informative concerning the Jewish Sabbath and why we should all honor our day of rest regardless of our religion.
