Church workers suffer from  low morale, while Christians of all  stripes struggle to find their way in a  culture fixated on sexuality, violence,  and wealth. In \u003ci\u003eKeeping the Sabbath  Wholly\u003c\/i\u003e (1989) Marva Dawn  introduced the vital Sabbath aspects of  \u003ci\u003eresting, ceasing, feasting,\u003c\/i\u003e  and \u003ci\u003eembracing.\u003c\/i\u003e Now, in \u003ci\u003eThe  Sense of the Call,\u003c\/i\u003e she expands  these into a way of life for serving  God and the Kingdom every single day of  the week.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA Sabbath way of life,  Dawn asserts, consists of  \u003ci\u003eresting\u003c\/i\u003e in the Kingdom's  grace, \u003ci\u003eceasing\u003c\/i\u003e by grace those  attitudes and actions that hinder the  Kingdom, \u003ci\u003efeasting\u003c\/i\u003e so as to  radiate the grace-full splendor of the  Kingdom, and \u003ci\u003eembracing\u003c\/i\u003e the  Kingdom's gracious purposes. To this  end Dawn teaches skills such as  learning to rest in prayer, saying no  to busyness, enjoying one's body as  God's temple, and embracing the cost of  living as a Christian  disciple.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBoth frank and  compassionate, \u003ci\u003eThe Sense of the  Call\u003c\/i\u003e will guide Christian servants  into a more restful, joy-full life of  trust in God.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46469756879058,"sku":"9780802844590","price":45.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/8980\/5233\/files\/1_1cb8a758-12c6-4817-98bb-dea26d47bd02.jpg?v=1762561430","url":"https:\/\/www.indigo.ca\/products\/the-sense-of-the-call","provider":"Indigo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
