Time-repentance, what a remarkable gift. Schaper gives us time, joyful time, God’s time, truly human time, liberating time, and best of all, fun time. To turn around and see time itself as God’s sacred gift is liberating and energizing, a gift especially needed in our over-worked, often joyless lives. A must read for everyone who complains they no longer have time to read!
