This, he says, is at odds with the ancient tradition of Sabbath as a day of delight for both body and soul. Instead, the only way we can make use of the Sabbath is to see God's original intent for the day with new eyes. In \u003ci\u003eSabbath\u003c\/i\u003e, Allender builds a case for delight by looking at this day as a festival that celebrates God's re-creative, redemptive love using four components: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensual glory and beauty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRitual\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommunal feasting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlayfulness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow you can experience the delight of the Sabbath as you never have before--a day in which you receive and extend reconciliation, peace, abundance, and joy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Ancient Practices\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is a hunger in every human heart for connection, primitive and raw, to God.
