Erika Kirk shares late husband Charlie’s final book on Sabbath rest

Erika Kirk, CEO of Turning Point USA (TPUSA), spoke about her late husband’s latest book and the message he wanted people of all faiths to take away during a wide-ranging conversation about “Hannity” on Monday.

“He didn’t just write this book,” Kirk told Fox News host Sean Hannity. “He lived it.”

An outspoken Christian who promoted civil discourse on college campuses across the country, Charlie Kirk was “extremely proud” of his latest book, according to the book’s publisher, Winning Team Publishing.

He completed what would be his final book – “Stop, in the Name of God: Why Honoring the Sabbath Will Transform Your Life” – only a month before his assassination on September 10.

His wife of four years explained why the late conservative activist and TPUSA founder urged his supporters to honor the Sabbath.

“In this book, Charlie talks about how important it is to put down your phone and engage with your family,” Kirk said. “Pour it in. It’s your inheritance.”

Charlie’s own experience practicing the Sabbath while spending time with his family has made him a “next-level husband,” Erika shared.

“At first it started with an hour, two hours,” she described. “But then once he fully integrated it into his life, he totally elevated himself. He became a next-level husband, which I didn’t even think was possible because he was already so amazing to me and the babies.”

Hannity, who hailed Charlie as a “Bible scholar,” praised his friend’s book’s message about the Sabbath.

“He explained that it was real rest,” he began. “And that means not watching television, binge-watching it. It means being present with your family. Present with God.”

“Rest your brain, rest your heart,” Kirk replied. “Rest your soul. We are not machines. We are humans, we have souls. We are here to make a difference and you cannot hear the Lord if you are constantly inundated with other people trying to distract your attention from the ultimate goal.”

“How are you able to make decisions for your family, for your business and for X, Y, Z if you are so inundated with what the enemy wants you to have?” she asked.

Kirk went on to say that there is a difference between activity and productivity.

“We can get bogged down in to-do lists and think that’s productivity,” she began. “Actually, that’s not the case. Charlie was amazing at time management.”

Charlie’s killing puts the “limited” time on Earth into perspective, Erika added, reflecting on how “precious” time is.

“Are you going to spend that time investing in your family, investing in the eternal things that you’re going to have in heaven, or are you going to waste that time getting into debates on the Internet and, you know, going down rabbit holes?” she asked.

As Kirk and Hannity further discussed the biblical roots of the Sabbath and even marriage as a covenant, Kirk pointed out that readers of her husband’s book do not need to be Christian to learn a lesson from it.

“You don’t even have to be religious,” she said. “You can be a non-observant citizen and use this book to change your life.”
