Description

We are all spread too thin, taking on more than we can handle, trying to do so much—almost as if we are afraid that if we were to take a moment of rest, we might discover that all our busyness is covering up an essential lack in our lives.

But God never meant for us to be so busy. God desires for us to have rest and peace. Brady Boyd shows you how to live a life that embraces stillness and solitude, so you can find the peace that God wants for you.

Society is all about the busy. Everything is rushed, frenzied, everything is hurry, hurry, hurry. Everyone talks faster or abbreviates, even on TV and in the movies, everything is faster including the dialogue, the news cycle can barely be called a cycle, more like a blip...people drive fast, eat fast, everything is zooming by. Soundbites rule. When will we finally see it can't be good for us? We're burning out. Our critical thinking skills are fading fast, we're getting digital amnesia, and live on pills to make us accept that somehow it's all ok. What happened to stillness, thoughtfulness, solitude, quiet, and if I can use the dreaded 's' word, slowness? When I saw this on Netgalley free for the low price of an honest review I felt drawn to it, I needed to read it...and slowly. Well-written, accessible, if a tad preachy, Boyd gives some excellent ways and reasons to slow down, and live life instead of letting it live you.
