The Urgency of Slowing Down: Biblical Wisdom for Everyday Renewal

“It’s urgent for us to slow down. For our bodies and our souls. We can do this.” —Laura Smith

If you’re tired of the crazy pace of your life but don’t know how to get off the merry-go-round, Laura Smith invites you to pause, exhale, and explore what the Bible says about slowing down. 

Our many responsibilities and relationships are important: we want to go to our child’s game and say yes to that assignment at work and help lead that group at church. But when we go, go, go at the world’s pace, the anxiety and burnout start to wear us down.  

Packed with different ways Christians over the centuries have tapped into the abundant life of Jesus, each short, easy-to-read chapter lays out a spiritual or physical practice such as prayer, Sabbath, saying no, gratitude, decluttering, celebration, and worship.

With scriptural insights and relatable personal stories, you will gain practical habits for resisting the hectic and holding on to the slow.

Find rest like Jesus—away from the demands of life!
