The Gift of Rest

About this book

Senator Joe Lieberman shows how ceasing all activity for a weekly Sabbath observance has profound benefit--including health, relationships, and even career advancement--for people of all religions. Our bodies and souls were created to rest--regularly--and when they do, we experience heightened productivity, improved health, and more meaningful relationships. In these pages you'll find wonderful stories of the senator's spiritual journey, as well as special Sabbath experiences with political colleagues such as Bill Clinton, Al and Tipper Gore, John McCain, Colin Powell, George W. Bush, Bob Dole, and others. Senator Joe Lieberman shows how his observance of the Sabbath has not only enriched his personal and spiritual life but enhanced his career and enabled him to serve his country to his greatest capacity.
