Upside Down Living: Sabbath (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781513801544)

People are busy. Between work, family, church, and other obligations, it's difficult to slow down and take a break. Yet taking time to pause for a Sabbath rest is what can refresh our souls the most--bringing renewed focus and clarity to our relationship with God and with those close to us. This study looks at Sabbath and how it is an effective way to recharge our lives and reconnect with what matters most.

Weary of Christian faith wrapped in a flag and trapped in your heart? Tired of faith as usual? Live out your Christian faith through the lens of Jesus. Follow values that seem so counter-cultural they appear to be upside down. Each compelling six-session Upside-Down Living Bible study helps us encounter the teachings of Jesus and wrestle with living out the kingdom here and now. The Bible isn't a cookbook with solutions for every ethical dilemma, but it helps us raise the right questions, encounter the teachings of Jesus, and discover new ways of faithful living in the world. Ideal for Sunday school or Bible study sessions, each topical study covers a specific theme or issue, and comes with thought-provoking discussion questions and activities. Be inspired and transformed in your faith. Live upside down.
