Publisher's Summary

Rest your mind, body, and spirit and focus on God's principles for keeping the Sabbath with this helpful guide from best-selling author Robert Morris.

A constant stream of busyness can slowly wear away at us over time: physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Yet believers often forget that taking a day of rest is one of the Ten Commandments! When we don't give our minds and emotions a break, our will to make good choices can often become compromised. Resting is also important to those around you. If you have a weary soul, you can't pour yourself into others at home, work, or wherever you are. It's vital-you must take the day off.

In Take the Day Off, Pastor Morris explains why rest is central to your well-being, how to do it, and how helpful it can be. You will be inspired to experience true rest and make it a priority in the rhythm of your weekly schedule. Don't wait and delay God's blessings in your life. Start implementing the principle of rest in your life and you will see eternal benefits.

The narrator puts me to sleep

I've tried to listen to this book as well as The Blessed Life second addition and I just can't make it through the forward because of the narrator. I love Pastor Robert's preaching, teaching, and story telling. I wish he had enough time to narrate his own books. I would listen to them multiple times like a listen to his messages multiple times via podcast. Just a poor choice for a narrator.

So needed

If you don’t already take the day off this is a great place to start if you do take a day off I promise you this will reignite the Love for the reason behind why you should take the day off

Great book, Robert Morris is my favorite!

Great book and explanation of the sabbath. I will reread again. I just sent to my husband to read as well.

Could not finish

The narrator's voice does not connect with me, even at 1.5 speed I was too bored to keep reading it

Highly recommend!!

Well worth the listen! Life changing principle! Rest is necessary and Biblical! a must read

Transformation- A must read for ever Christian. . . No for everyone.

I didn’t want to turn this audible off. I finished in two days. It pierced my heart and transformed my thinking. I will be rereading and/or listen again. I loved the story telling way of making it plain and how biblically based it was. Excellent listen and I recommend it for every Christian...no actually for everyone.

Learning to rest

A wonderful book that explains i both the requirement and importance of rest! Other than knowing Jesus as your Lord and Savior,, I can’t think of anything that our society needs to learn than this very principle. Indeed it is a life saver!

You're NOT too busy for this book!

I chose this book because the Lord gave me the word: REST. Chapter after chapter led me to be more intentional about the sabbath in my life starting today! Morris brings together so many incredible stories and scriptures to illustrate God's perfect design for REST in our lives. You'll wish you had found this book 10 years ago. Enjoy!

Life Changing Book!

God really spoke to me as I listened to the encouraging voice of the narrator & realized how important it is to take a day of rest & renewal each week to hear God's voice , enjoy His presence & connect in meaningful ways with those I love. Great book!
