Charlie Kirk’s Last Book with Counter-Cultural Wisdom for Christians Will Be Released in December

Even though Charlie Kirk was murdered in tragic and sudden fashion, his work will outlive him and continue to shape an entire generation of Americans.

In the days since his Sept. 10 assassination during a campus event at Utah Valley University, his debates with students, speeches before world leaders, and proclamations of the gospel have gone viral on social media.

One may say that he reached more people in his death than his life, especially as countless thousands read their Bibles, attend church, or otherwise reconsider the Christian faith because of his witness.

Kirk’s powerful legacy will continue this December when his final book is released posthumously.

Some would expect that the volume centers on a pressing political or cultural issue, but as Kirk enters eternity, he will leave the world with a much more timeless piece of wisdom.

His book is entitled “Stop in the Name of God: Why Honoring the Sabbath Will Transform Your Life.”

With the project, the Turning Point USA founder is slated to defend the Christian practice of setting apart one day every week for corporate worship and fellowship with God and others, as noted by a Thursday report from the New York Post.

While the precise manner in which Christians practice the Sabbath tends to vary — if they do practice the Sabbath at all — Kirk modeled his day of rest in the Jewish pattern, turning off his phone and removing himself from his hectic political life from Friday night to Sunday morning.

“We’ve basically eliminated honoring the Sabbath. It says very clearly, for six days you shall work and for the seventh day you shall rest,” Kirk told Christian pastor Doug Wilson in an interview which aired a few months before his death.

“Very clearly, that seventh day is designed for worshiping God, who created the heavens and the earth,” Kirk continued, noting how the Sabbath is embedded in the very order of creation.

Kirk was “not legalistic” about how Christians practiced the Sabbath, but he had a very simple rule: “If I walk into your home on the Sabbath, can I tell, or does it look like every other day?”

The leading conservative activist admitted that keeping the Sabbath is “really hard.”

“You have to almost fight your flesh to do it, to not want to return an , to not want to return a text message,” Kirk told Wilson.

In past comments recorded by the New York Post, Kirk’s now-widow, Erika Kirk, explained that her husband was able to rest and spend time with his family by keeping the Sabbath.

“When he turns his phone off and it goes in that drawer, he’s all on for the family. There are no distractions,” she said. “He finally gets to reset his brain. He finally gets to breathe.”

As Charlie Kirk enters his eternal Sabbath rest, his wife and two young children are surely grateful for those days he spent with them, resting in the love of God and the many blessings they enjoyed together.
