Is there a sabbatical plan for Christians? -- Play on -- Food for thought -- Eat this book: studying the Scriptures -- Sex and the city of God -- As for the rest of life.

Summary: "When was the last time you heard a sermon on the theological importance of play? What do rest, eating, studying? and sex? have to do with the Kingdom of God? Strangely, although these activities together take up much of our time, they seldom receive much discussion from a biblical point of view. In The Rest of Life Ben Witherington explores these subjects in the light of biblical teaching about the Kingdom of God and the Christian hope for the future. He shows why and how all the normal activities of life should be done to the glory of God and for the edification of others. Focusing as it does on practical, everyday matters in an accessible style, this topical study is ideal for both individual reading and small-group discussion"--Page 4 of cover.
