Deep within the woods, amid the harry and hassle of endlessly proliferating demands - from work and loved ones, social media and new technologies, as well as by church and other organisations to which we belong - lies God's invitation to Sabbath, a clearing in which to pause, to breathe, to find light, harmony and regeneration.

In this beautiful meditation on the theme of Sabbath, Nicola Slee helps us to discover this treasure within ourselves, guided by poetry (her own and that of Wendell Berry), journal extracts and space for you, the reader, to record your own thoughts and reflections along the way.
