Elegant, passionate, and filled with the love of God's creation, Abraham Joshua Heschel's "The Sabbath" has been hailed as a classic of Jewish spirituality ever since its original publication--and has been read by thousands of people seeking meaning in modern life. In this brief yet profound meditation on the meaning of the Seventh Day, Heschel, one of the most widely respected religious leaders of the twentieth century, introduced the influential idea of an 'architecture of holiness" that appears not in space but in time.

I would encourage this book to be read to glean from the wisdom of Jewish beleifs. Challenges the western philiosophy in many areas. This is somewhat heady if Jewish writing doesn't interest you but definately worth the read!
