Into the book
The Sabbath is a day for life.
Unless man is a beast of burden, the Sabbath is not a day to increase the efficiency of his work.
The Sabbath, which is ‘the last work of God’s creation and the first work of God’s intention’, is the ‘purpose of creation.’
The Sabbath is not for weekdays.
Rather, weekdays are for the Sabbath.
The Sabbath is not an intermission of life, but the culmination of life.
--- p.59

The Sabbath is not a day for distraction, frivolity, fireworks, or stunts.
The Sabbath is a day to mend our torn lives and focus, not waste time.
Labor without dignity is the cause of unhappiness, and leisure without spirit is the source of corruption.
--- p.65

The Sabbath is a day of harmony and peace.
It is a day to achieve peace between people, peace within humans, and peace with all things.
On the seventh day, humans have no right to manipulate the world God created or to change the state of physical objects.
This day is a day of rest for both humans and animals.
--- p.85

Publisher's Review
A book for those who desperately need rest but can't find it!

A book criticizing modern civilization, which regards only production and ownership as virtues, while ignoring all values ​​and realities that are invisible and intangible.
This book reawakens the importance of the Sabbath to modern people who confine even God to a specific place, reject spirituality, and view it as an obstacle to work, social activities, and shopping. It embodies the author's conviction to embody the biblical view of humanity on earth.
A book cherished by Professor Kang Young-an, Pastor Kim Young-bong, Pastor Kim Hoe-kwon, Pastor Lee Hyeon-ju, Eugene Peterson, and Marva Dunn.
A book for you who desperately needs rest but can't find it.

How can we live in harmony with others and enjoy freedom?
How can we live with things without being enslaved by them?

The Sabbath is a day to cease the brutal struggle for survival and all conflicts, whether personal or social.
It is a day to achieve peace between people, between people and nature, and within people.
It is a day to revive the soul and body and become independent from the greatest idol, money.
The Sabbath is a day of escape from tension, a day of liberation from the sludge of life, a day to savor eternity within time. A day set aside for freedom, a day of self-reflection, a day of turning away from worldly things, a day of freedom from formal obligations, a day of refraining from worshipping the idols of technological civilization, a day of truce from the struggles with fellow humans and the forces of nature for profit—that day is the Sabbath.
