Sabbath Keeping

Sabbath Keeping

Donna Schaper

Cowley Publications,U.S.
1999
pokkari
The third in Cowley’s Cloister Book series, Sabbath Keeping is a collection of ten meditations, each exploring a different aspect of keeping the sabbath and ending with a prayer. Since it is a difficult art in a society that does not value rest, Schaper encourages small acts of sabbath keeping that initially focus on physical and mental renewal but soon broaden to questions of justice and power. She begins with a chapter called “What is Sabbath?” and goes to the Bible for definitions, from the ordinances surrounding sabbath in the Hebrew Bible to the gospel stories about the Sabbath. Other meditations concern sabbath and music, sabbath and the body, prayer, focusing and decluttering, sabbath and memory, sabbath as the relinquishing of power, and sabbath as an act of resistance.

Mature Grief

Mature Grief

Donna Schaper

Cowley Publications,U.S.
2003
pokkari
While there are no easy answers to loss and death, Mature Grief offers a compass to anyone navigating the unknown and uncharted waters of grief. Each life comes from God. It begins with God and has no end. Our parents came from God, out from the circle of eternity, bestowed with goodness, and in dying they return to God. Their circle is complete. And in between, their spirits splashed-down here briefly in a quiet eddy at the edge of the flowing river of time. Our lives began as a ripple of their lives. And their deaths may provoke a tidal wave of grief. In this thoughtful and practical book, pastor Donna Schaper guides the reader through the process of grieving the death of a parent. While acknowledging that every person’s experience of grieving the death of a parent is unique, she offers helpful insight to the reality that some occasions of grief are quite simple and others, for reasons as complicated as life itself, are fraught with confusion and complexity. Especially helpful is Schaper’s wise guidance for making transitions: dealing with belongings, family dynamics, birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, and other important dates.

Altar Call

Altar Call

Donna E. Schaper

Abingdon Press
2001
pokkari
This volume examines commitment in the context of the individual and institutional response to God s call to be God s people. The call from God is a call to the altar, to the holy, in a simple do-able way, explains the author. Right now we are a little like an aborted African chant in the mainline church; there is a call, but no response. Donna Schaper outlines various reasons for this disconnect between call and response, and she offers ten concrete ways of responding to the gospel through specific actions that will help persons reconnect with their commitment to be the people of God."

Lack of time is the chronic complaint of our culture -- and the reality of most of our lives. Sabbath as a day of rest has been lost in our to -- do lists and organizers, but the sense of Sabbath, as spiritual leisure, is very much needed in our time-starved world. Sabbath Sense offers a refreshing perspective on making the spiritual choice to take back our time, one moment at a time.
