    I have read Almost Amish and I do own Go Green Save Green which I look at every so often. Both of those and this one included are true prescriptions for a life dominated by our fast-paced society that can't stop. This book allowed me to see Sabbath as much more than I'd previously thought it was. It is a Holy Day of rest, not merely a day for me to do nothing. The stories that Dr. Sleeth offered made it hard to put this book down. Connecting these amazing stories with the practice of sabbath was a brilliant idea. I just have so many little nuggets and backing for my practice of the Sabbath now. As a college student, we make all the excuses for not practicing Sabbath, but Dr. Sleeth makes it doable and pushes us past our excuses. It's not that we don't have time for the sabbath, I say, it's that we are lazy and unmotivated to get everything done that needs to be done, as students, so we can take that day of rest. The blessings in the back are also amazing as I am such a fan of Hebrew and am a descendent of the Jewish people. Great book and great guide!

    24/6 by Matthew Sleeth was just the book the doctor ordered. In today's world it always seems like go go go. And often people for get to slow down and rest. I'm guilty of that as much as the next person. But we need to remember that God gave us a day of rest and even though we feel the need to do we also just need to stop and be. To rest. 24/6 helps us to remember that.

    In our frenzied world, we desperately need to stop and rest. Accessing experiences from his medical work and from life, Dr. Sleeth shows how and why God wrote the Sabbath rest into creation itself. Not only for the sake of our personal well-being but also for the sake of creation, we all need to read this book and heed its call to enter into God's Sabbath rest.

    In our busy world, many people have 24/7 lives and do not have time to rest. Dr. Matthew Sleeth discusses how our lives have gotten to this point and has ideas for how to have a day of rest. I thought the author made some good points about having a day of rest and how his family did this. It's a great idea and many Scripture passages were quoted to support this.

    24/6 is a book that stresses the importance to take one day off from the week to rest and spend time with God. Those, of us, who live in America lead very busy lives. We work long hours, care for our families, take the kids to extracurricular activities, and care for our homes. With all the work we do and extra running around, it is no wonder that we are tired by the end of the week. God knew how busy humans tend to get and He also knew that we need time to rest and relax from all our work. Another thing, which God in His wisdom knew, was that when we get busy and successful, we forget about God. God knew that we need a day to rest and seek Him and that is why we are supposed to have a Sabbath day. 24/6 explains what can happen to a person both spiritually, physically, and emotionally if we obey the 4th commandment, which is to remember the Sabbath Day and keep it holy. He also described what his Sabbath Day looks like and gave some examples of what it really means to rest, relax, and seek God on our "Stop Day". I have been observing a Sabbath Day for several years, however, after reading this book, I have seen that I do need to make a few changes to how I spend my Sabbaths. I made the decision to observe Sabbath at a time when life was becoming too busy and when my health was compromised. However, I mostly just avoided work and took the day to go to church and hang out with friends and family. After reading this book, though, I have come to the conclusion that I need to spend more time with God on my Sabbath Day and unplug my computer/tv because my mind does not get the rest it should with these distractions. I encourage all Christians to read this book and to observe the Sabbath. I know that my life has been positively affected since I started and I think that if America were to go back to observing Sabbath, our country would be a better country.
