Rest: Living in Sabbath Simplicity
Rest: Living in Sabbath Simplicity
$14.99
When Rest arrived in my mailbox, it was with some discipline that I refrained from delving into the pages, simply taking a peek to see the layout & chapter titles had to suffice. I completed reading the final pages of a book in one night & eagerly jumped into this book the next day.
My eagerness in part was due to previous experiences with this author. Although, I have never met her outside of books & email, I have a sense of camaraderie. This is the 5th book that I have read that was written by Keri Wyatt Kent - I have recommended her writings extensively & lead small group studies using 3 of the books with a dear group of women. They have helped to shift my relationship with Jesus increasingly toward relationship & away from religion. While I have found her writing style easy to follow & "do-able" as a mom of young children, I have also found that it challenges me to grow & change, as a daughter of Christ, wife, mother & leader. So starting to read this new book was a bit like sitting down with an old friend that I haven't seen in a while & jumping into conversation where we left off a year ago when we were last together.
In the book Keri invites us to place Sabbath practices into life, not just on one day set aside for Sabbath, but throughout each day. Upon recently re-entering the work force outside my home, I have found the suggestions helpful getting through my most intense days of work.
I am eager to delve into this book with a small group of women. Keri Wyatt Kent's style is one that has been very readable even for moms who proclaim that they are "not a reader".
What I found most striking about this book though is that it is written to a broader audience than primarily mothers in the earliest of this authors books that I have read. My husband has enjoyed portions of it & would no doubt benefit from reading it in it's entirety. I would recommend this book to all individuals interested in being challenged to consider & broaden their Sabbath practices - female or male, single or married - Enjoy this inviting conversation.

I did learn a lot which is all that you can ask for. The book is thin - less than 300 pages, and the author writes in a good conversational style. It is a good tutorial but it probably does not make a good reference as it does not go into too much detail in some places. For example it does not explain how to create a handler when it returns a false value (how is the response created?), and a little more detail on the client side BARE style. Also, the code examples do not use logging correctly. But these are very small annoyances compared to the overall learning.

I like the way the author writes; however, I have a few problems with the book as a whole:
- The example code is a mess. It's badly formatted and a lot of just doesn't work. If you don't believe me, download it yourself before buying the book: [...]
- There is just not enough focus on the client (the book contains 11 chapters and chapter 10 is client code). However, the example must have been an academic exercise for the author who focused on SSDS rather than a simpler example. He would have been better off sticking to his example code and focusing more on security from the client's perceptive.

In a nutshell this book can be broken into 3 parts:

1) About REST - 19 pages
2) Rails support for REST - 18 pages
3) Tutorials - All the other pages

I found the first 37 pages or so pretty interesting. The tutorials I'm sure have a lot of good examples, but personally I find that not the most fascinating format to read. If I have to scroll more than a few pages in a tutorial in a blog I might lose interest. That's just me.

The tutorials provide examples of how to include the ideas of REST using JavaScript, JSON, PHP, iPhone, Facebook, etc. Glance over the sections at a bookstore, if it looks like something pertinent to a project you are working on ... then buy it.

So overall, it does an OK job of presenting the material in the chosen format (tutorials). It's just not my personal favorite as far as written formats go.
