Insightful and engaging Sabbath Meditations
Why do we do what we do? What happens as a result? How do we make sense of, and find meaning in, our lives and in the world that contains us? How do we render wholeness out of brokenness, creating mosaics of beauty and functionality from the rent pieces of our lives? This collection of Sabbath meditations invites readers to inhabit the questions with intention and joy. With a pastor's sensibility, a writer's lyricism, and a generous heart, Leaf Seligman invokes poetry, thinking from diverse spiritual traditions, and stories from her own walk through life to grapple with enduring religious themes and contemporary challenges. It is the preacher's responsibility to be of use, to choose words with great care, and open the window so spirit can move in and out, she writes in her afterword. Indeed, these meditations the words themselves and their call to a more fully understood, more deeply felt life resonate long after the bookmark is tucked into place and the covers closed. Read them slowly and deliberately. Let them be your company as you journey through the Sabbath and into the week.

A writer since childhood, Leaf Seligman’s life work centers on redemption, be it the college classes she teaches on forgiveness and reconciliation; the literary workshops she leads; the restorative practices she carries into schools, prisons, and community settings; or the sermons, stories, and essays she pens. She is also the author of Opening the Window: Sabbath Meditations and A Pocket Book of Prompts, both from Bauhan Publishing.
