Short description

Serendipity is finding something valuable that you weren't even looking for. In this book, Peggy Wilson tells of her two unplanned sabbaticals, and the surprising things she learned when she dug deeper into the origins and practices of sabbatical rest. Sabbatical is actually God's invention, serendipity is usually God at work, and taking a sabbatical is more possible than most of us believe.

Extended description

We all desperately long for rest, especially after the last few years of toil and economic turmoil, within a culture that was already dysfunctionally and desperately workaholic. But how do you get away from it all long enough to really rest? And what is rest, anyway? Peggy Wilson presents a number of stories of people who have managed to take a sabbatical break, despite the difficulties, and who have made unexpected discoveries along the way. She also looks at the ancient practice of sabbatical, which is closely connected to Sabbath observance, and finds several aspects of sabbatical rest that are helpful for our own time. She has some practical tips for making a sabbatical happen, but concludes that a sabbatical rest may just as well come serendipitously from God, as it did in her case.
