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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e William B.
