Mudhouse Sabbath: An Invitation to a Life of Spiritual Discipline

Publisher Description

Lauren Winner's original Mudhouse Sabbath has sold 45,000 copies, been translated into three languages, and spawned a successful video study series. Now, she has created a "Study Edition," appealing to Christians who want to go deeper into what it means to understand, appreciate, and even integrate the Jewish origins of Christianity into their Christian faith. After her conversion from Orthodox Judaism to Christianity, Winner found that her life was indelibly marked by the rich traditions and spiritual practices of Judaism. So she set out to discover how she could incorporate some of these practices into her new faith. Winner presents eleven Jewish practices that can transform the way Christians view the world and God, including attentive eating, marking the days while grieving, a community that supports a marriage, candle-lighting, and a weekly Sabbath. Her honesty and rare insight has helped thousands and thousands of readers over the last decade.
