Along with Joseph Pipa’s The Lord’s Day and Walt Chantry’s Call the Sabbath a Delight, Jeremy Walker’s Our Chief of Days: The Principle, Purpose and Practice of the Lord’s Day is destined to become a helpful confirmation to many Christians of the abiding significance of the Sabbath, and a probing challenge to non-sabbatarians to rethink their understanding of the fourth commandment. Walker carefully and sensitively expounds the abiding nature of the Sabbath for the church and, with judicious quotes from history, illuminates God’s wisdom in giving his church in all ages a prescribed rhythm of rest and work. The chapter on how Christians should practically keep the Lord’s day, the Christian Sabbath, is especially thoughtful and sane, avoiding the danger of an incipient or expressed legalism. Walker’s brief book is engaging, clear, untechnical, and eminently biblical. I highly recommend it.

Evangelicalism in the West is in serious danger of losing the tremendous benefits of the Lord’s day by neglecting to observe the Lord’s command to keep it. Jeremy Walker addresses this issue from the Scriptures in this clear and succinct account. He demonstrates from the Old and New Testaments the principle of keeping one day in seven holy to the Lord as a continuing obligation still binding today, shows the purpose of the command and expounds how we are to practise it in a manner that is glorifying to God and enjoyable and beneficial to us. Highly recommended for all.
