A Prescription for a Happier, Healthier Life

A Prescription for a Healthier, Happier Life

By: Matthew Sleeth, MD

“Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy.” It’s the only commandment that begins with the word “Remember” – almost as if God knew we would forget. Well, guess what? We did. And is it any wonder? Look around. Smart phones, Facebook, Twitter, and Skype help us stay connected with co-workers, family, and friends, but what about God? How can we possibly have “ears to hear” when we are plugged in 24/7? If we never take time to “be still and know” God, how can we grow into mature spiritual beings? The solution is simple. And it is endorsed by the Great Physician Himself. In fact, He invented it. It’s called rest. And like all good things, rest is a gift from God. In 24/6, Dr. Matthew Sleeth shares the Bible’s life-giving rhythm for a healthier, more God-centered life. Along the way, he shares how his family was dramatically transformed when it began adopting Sabbath practices and helps us better understand how our own lives can be radically enriched – physically, emotionally, relationally, and spiritually – by adopting a 24/6 lifestyle.
