The Sense of the Call by Marva J. Dawn

Announcing a new arrival: Marva J. Dawn's The Sense of the Call: A Sabbath Way of Life for Those Who Serve God, the Church, and the World

The following review was written by Myka Kennedy Stephens for Congregational Libraries Today, the bimonthly publication of the Church & Synagogue Library Association. Used with permission. Copyright 2007 by the Church and Synagogue Library Association (www.cslainfo.org).

Pastors, ministers, and church workers will appreciate Marva Dawn’s call to Sabbath-keeping in her most recent work. Strongly rooted in Biblical interpretation and conversant with other writings on the topic, Dawn encourages those who have dedicated their lives to Christ to make the additional dedication to a day of resting, ceasing, fasting and embracing. In sincerity, she admits to her own difficulties with Sabbath-keeping, yet she draws strength from them to encourage and enable her readers to join her in improving this Christian practice.

While this book is intended for those who work in and for the Church, the concepts could be easily adapted for any faithful Christians who seek to improve their Sabbath practices. It includes an extensive reading list organized by topic to aid the reader in finding additional resources on Sabbath-keeping.
