A Sabbath Shared

Shopping in a Roman market, praying at Jerusalem's Western Wall, and reading the Acts of the Apostles in Ephesus were all part of the five month sabbatical journey of Father Chet Snyder as he followed in the footsteps of Jesus, Saint Peter and Saint Paul. A Sabbath Shared is his spiritual travelogue written in Italy, Israel, Turkey, Greece and England. The ruins of the Roman Forum, Jerusalem's Church of the Holy Sepulcher and the ancient temples of the Acropolis in Athens provide the setting for Father Snyder's reflections and questions on the nature of faith, the mission of the church and the mystery of the human person. With wit and wisdom he shares his experiences and encourages us to rejoice in our dignity as children of God and accept Jesus' invitation to have life, and live it to the full. Whether he is praying on the Mount of Olives, conversing with a Jerusalem tour guide or bargaining with a carpet salesman in Istanbul, Father Snyder draws lessons from the experiences of everyday life that invite his readers to travel with him and share the blessings of an extended Sabbath in places ever on his mind and close to his heart.
