Is the thickness of the morning paper the only thing that distinguishes Sunday from the other days of the week in your home? From the dawn of creation God designated the Sabbath as a time for worship and spiritual renewal as well as a much needed physical respite from the mundane cares of the world. Yet many Christians spend this holy day as they would any other-scrambling to get ready in the morning, fighting traffic and worrying about parking, coming home exhausted in the afternoon, and spending the evening in front of the television. In this insightful, encouraging, and delightful book, best-selling author Karen Mains challenges Christians to celebrate Sunday with a sabbath heart-to make the Lord's Day so special that there are three days of anticipation ... and so meaningful that it continues to nurture for three days afterward. Making Sunday Special will help you and your family restore "the rhythm of the sacred" and fall in love anew with the day of rest and with Jesus Christ, the Lord of the Sabbath.
