Yet these cultural visions of fulfillment often leave us more restless than before. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is a more satisfying path. God invites us not simply to take a day off, but to be transformed to be like him through the joy, delight, and holiness of sabbath all seven days of the week. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Sabbath We Need\u003c\/i\u003e, John and Jena Starke guide you away from the world's anxious systems and into participation with God in his rest. This is not another book about relaxation or self-care. The biblical emphasis on sabbath rest isn't necessarily about recovering from the week but to be set apart like the God who rested on the seventh day. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on their own practices as a family of six living in Manhattan, the Starkes offer a path for detachment from the world for a deeper attachment to Christ, providing hope for a culture exhausted in its search for rest. True sabbath is formation toward divine holiness and counterformation away from worldliness. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWith \u003ci\u003eThe Sabbath We Need\u003c\/i\u003e, you will discover \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe difference between counterfeit fulfillment and the true divine fullness of sabbath keeping; \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractical ways to make the sabbath the center of gravity for your week, reshaping your rhythms of life; \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to practice sabbath in different stages of life and in seasons of pain, success, struggle, and loss; and \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow to receive the gift of sabbath as God intended and practice it in a way that leads to joy, delight, and interior rest. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eChoose the way of holy rest. \u003ci\u003eThe Sabbath We Need\u003c\/i\u003e leads you out of worldliness and into holiness, out of anxious systems and into the heart of rest. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Starke,Jena Starke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1514012782\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781514012789\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e IVP\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/13\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"John Starke","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48517138120959,"sku":"9781514012789","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_db5eeebb-b6fd-491b-9c8f-e68268f46a64.jpg?v=1778730157","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-sabbath-we-need-john-starke-9781514012789","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
