From the creation of the world and the introduction of the first human beings to their Edenic home, God's deepest passion has always been that each of His children-not just those with Jewish blood take regular, periodic and intensive time with Him, remembering who He is and what we mean to Him. For those who come from a Christian background, the idea of "Sabbath rest" may be unfamiliar territory (although it has become better known recently through a string of self-help books on the subject), but, in our hectic, stress-filled world, it is needed now more than ever and offers tremendous physical and spiritual benefits for all who are willing to put it into practice.
