Eberle seeks to rediscover a renewed sense of meaning in life through looking for ways to enter the realm of sacred time or \"sabbath time\"--where we can reconnect with the slower, deeper rhythms of life that have traditionally been experienced through worship, prayer, and the observance of holy days. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDrawing from the work of Western philosophers from Aristotle to Heidegger, and on theorists from Jung to Foucault, he presents both an intellectual history of time and a personal account of his own search for sacred time. Along the way he formulates an insightful analysis of our culture's obsession with speed and efficiency, and he offers guidance for slowing down to savor life outside of schedules and routines, showing the way toward finding fulfillment in this increasingly accelerated world.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGary Eberle is chair of the English Department at Aquinas College in Grand Rapids, Michigan, where he has taught since 1982.
