Garden City

Garden City: Work, Rest, and the Art of Being Human. by John Mark Comer

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Having read two of Comer’s more recent books, I finally came around to this earlier one from 2015. The reader can see pretty quickly how Comer’s thoughts on Sabbath and rest were taking their infancy shape here, and then later developed more thoroughly in Ruthless Elimination. Garden City provides a basic theology of work and rest, worked out in the ebbs and flows of one pastor’s common-to-all struggle for sanity in a world on hyperdrive.
