My friend, Monica, has written a book!  I’ve linked to her blog many times before.  She has written about the idea of slowing for many years and I’m so happy her thoughts are all together in book form now.  It has been a long road from beginning to end for her, but it is finally available and is a beautiful collection.  If you’re interested in this topic, please check out her book here.  You will LOVE her ideas, photography, and study questions.

Most Americans have adopted the idea that being overly busy equals success, or happiness, or status.  But it doesn’t.  In fact, Monica suggests that being busy on a regular basis “does a number on our hearts and bodies and leaves us feeling like a wrung-out dishrag.”  Can anyone relate?  I know I can.  She says, “Sweet friend, I believe with all my heart this is not the way our God wants us to move through the lives He has blessed us with.”

A wonderfully, humble book about slowing your pace of life, where the author is learning right alongside and offering practical suggestions to adopt.  Thank you, Monica, for sharing your heart with us!
