The Sabbath: His Gift to Us, Our Gift to Him.

From Goodreads.com: The Sabbath provides refreshment, renewal, and spiritual protection for all who will obediently participate. As we keep this sacred day holy, we become holy ourselves, little by little. 
—Dennis C. Gaunt
The powerful principle of appropriate Sabbath-day worship is vital to the happiness and eternal progression of the Lord’s children. However, the call to keep the Sabbath holy can sometimes lead to misunderstandings and visions of lengthy lists of prohibited activities. In The Sabbath: His Gift to Us, Our Gift to Him, nine prominent Latter-day Saints—from bestselling authors to gospel scholars—look beyond the lists of do’s and don’ts to address the true spirit of Sabbath-day observance.This compilation of doctrinal guidance, prophetic counsel, and personal testimony serves as a sweet reminder that the Sabbath is a sacred gift—most importantly, it is a day full of possibilities for personal and spiritual growth. Learn to make the Sabbath day a delight as you find joy in service, build your spiritual reservoir with study, and strengthen your relationship with the Savior by joyfully remembering Him.

My thoughts:Interesting collection of several authors thoughts on the Sabbath and what it all means.
If you are looking for a book that spells out do this, avoid that, this is not the book you want.
It does lead the reader to examine their own ideas and beliefs not he sabbath and what it should mean to themselves and their families.
I would recommend it to anyone looking to increase their ideas on the Sabbath
