The Other Side of the Sabbath: More than Rest, A Call to Serve

For generations, the Sabbath has been viewed as a day of rest—a sacred pause in our weekly rhythm meant for worship, reflection, and stillness. But what if we’ve only embraced half the story?

In The Other Side of the Sabbath, readers are taken on a powerful journey through Scripture to uncover a deeper, more transformative understanding of the Sabbath. With biblical insight and prophetic urgency, this book challenges the traditional, often passive, view of Sabbath observance and reintroduces it as a divine mandate to act—to love, to heal, to liberate.

Through engaging exposition of passages from Isaiah, the Gospels, and the teachings of Jesus, the Sabbath is shown to not merely be a rest from labor, but a call to righteous work—a day designed to lift burdens, advocate for the marginalized, and bring hope to those in need. Far from being a day of restriction, the Sabbath is God's appointed time for restoration, compassion, and justice.

With a voice that is both pastoral and prophetic, this book will inspire you to:

• Rethink what it truly means to “keep the Sabbath holy”
• Recognize the connection between holiness and justice
• Rediscover Jesus’ pattern of Sabbath compassion
• Reimagine the Sabbath as a movement, not just a moment

Whether you're a lifelong believer or just beginning your faith journey, The Other Side of the Sabbath is a wake-up call. It will stretch your understanding, stir your compassion, and push you to live a Sabbath-shaped life that mirrors the mission of Jesus.

Because the Sabbath was never meant to be just a day of rest.

It was meant to change the world.
