Meeting God Through Shabbat

What if Shabbat were more than a day to observe? What if it were an invitation to stop, breathe, draw near, and delight in the presence of God?

Meeting God Through Shabbat is a warm, practical invitation to discover the beauty and meaning of Shabbat-not simply as a collection of traditions, but as a sacred rhythm that makes room for rest, worship, family, reflection, and time with the Father.

With Scripture as its foundation, Mary Hudak-Collins gently walks readers through the traditions and practices surrounding Shabbat, explaining not only what is done, but also the meaning behind it. From preparing for Shabbat and lighting the candles to blessing the family, sharing the bread and cup, enjoying the table, and closing with Havdalah, each practice becomes an opportunity to slow down and remember the One who gave us rest.

Along the way, a Questions & Answers section addresses many of the practical questions that arise when beginning to observe Shabbat-helping readers move beyond simply knowing the traditions to understanding how Shabbat can be lived out in everyday life.

This book is not about performing Shabbat perfectly. It is about making room for God.

Whether you are exploring Shabbat for the first time, have observed it for years, or simply long for a quieter and more intentional rhythm with the Father, you are invited to come to the table, set aside the noise of the week, and discover the gift of meeting Him there.

The traditions are the framework. Relationship with God is the destination.

Come and discover the rest, worship, and delight of Shabbat-and how setting apart one day can begin to change the way you walk with God through all the others.
