With the overwhelming pace of life, many of us struggle to stop long enough to be present. Our long to-do lists and full calendars leave little breathing room to hear from God. We know we need to slow down but we don't even know how to begin.
Alan Fadling has spent years coaching leaders and communities on how to live an unhurried life, teaching that productivity and success are not our chief end, but rather living at the pace that our true self longs to live. Designed to help you center your day around God's loving presence, A Year of Slowing Down offers six devotionals for each week of the year. Each day begins with a Scripture passage followed by a short reading and a reflection question.
This book is an invitation to slow down and be present to the movement of God in your everyday life. Will you accept God's call to welcome a year of slowing down?
"Under the culture's relentless pressure to hurry, we need a resource that not only reminds us to slow down but also offers a touch point with Jesus that nourishes our souls with the grace and truth of God's kingdom every day of the year. Alan Fadling's latest devotional is that resource-full of daily thoughts and questions that invite us into the life-giving presence of God. I highly recommend it
