"Stillness. Prayer. Sabbath. In a restless world, what do those
words even mean? Public health expert Kate H. Rademacher grew up
thinking it was up to humans to bring healing and justice to earth.
Saving the world meant working long hours, answering emails day or
night, and competing for professional awards and funding. In an era
of pandemic, racial injustice, and deepening inequality, who's got
time for a nap? Stressed out and frazzled, Rademacher landed on the
Christian story, in which a sought-after Savior retreats to
solitary places and prays alone in the wilderness. In the pages of
Reclaiming Rest, Rademacher tells the story of a year of monthly
Sabbath retreats, during which she withdraws from family and work
obligations for periods of solitude. She also experiments with
disciplines like walking, praying, taking a break from social
media, and finding a Sabbath buddy. In lyrical and astute prose,
Rademacher teases out answers to questions like: What does rest in
a restless world look like? How is Sabbath connected to issues of
justice? Vocation? Parenting? Simplicity?Ultimately, Rademacher
claims, Sabbath pierces our illusions of self-reliance and control,
and that's good news. What if keeping the Sabbath is not only a
commandment to obey but a freedom to reclaim?"
