This book is relatable and down to earth. Lee illustrates many ways to live faithfully through simple living, buying responsibly, advocating for justice, and connecting to the community of the church. Simple living is described as a way of life; and Lee differentiates this from a list of rules, steps or guide for living more with less.
Lee explains why it is important to have balance between living faithfully and abundantly. She also highlights the need to have grace for oneself and others rather than judgement of unmet expectations. The reader is encouraged to do the best they can, accept that this is good enough, but also try to find ways to improve.
Many biblical examples are used to illustrate the authors stance. Lee presents an interesting discussion about what it means to be blessed by God, and why we serve others. The importance of community is also addressed, particularly in terms of how we impact our global community and also how we are supported by others within the local community.
Overall, this book left me feeling that faithful and simple living is well within my grasp. Furthermore, I was given some ideas for how I might achieve this and grace for the days that I wont come close to my goals.
