Inhaltsangabe:

In Sacred Time and the Search for Meaning, Gary Eberle contemplates how humans' view of time has evolved throughout history, how we came to measure time, and why we feel especially starved for it now. Eberle seeks to rediscover a renewed sense of meaning in life through looking for ways to enter the realm of sacred time or "sabbath time" where we can reconnect with the slower, deeper rhythms of life that have traditionally been experienced through religious worship, prayer and observance of holy days. Thomas Moore, author of Care of the Soul, said "To recover sacred time is to recover our souls, and this book is full of good lessons for doing just that" Rev. Forrest Church wrote" . . . do your soul a favor-read and savor this truly wonderful book"
