CAROL STREAM, Ill., May 4, 2011 /Christian Newswire/ -- The May/June issue of the Kyria digital magazine, available today, helps women understand the vital peace, delight, and true worship that come with practicing the Sabbath.
Editor Ginger Kolbaba says, "This month's issue of the Kyria digizine is on the spiritual discipline of Sabbath -- the practice of enjoying God's gift of repetitive and regular rest. We want this issue to help women learn to trust God with their schedules and to see the value of keeping this neglected commandment. We also address what practicing the Sabbath looks like in today's frantic culture."
Featured is an interview with Keri Wyatt Kent, author of Rest, who says practicing the Sabbath changed the rhythm of her life. "When you honor God with a little bit of your week, he gives back to you in unexpected ways."
A portion of the Kyria digital magazine is free access and open to everyone. The May/June issue features the following articles:
