The Urgency of Slowing Down: Biblical Wisdom for Everyday Renewal

"Be still, and know that I am God." --Psalm 46:10

Living at a frantic pace is so easy today. 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.

Laura Smith invites you to explore what the Bible says about slowing down. With scriptural insights and relatable stories, you will gain habits to resist the frantic and hold on to calm. Packed with ways that Christians over the centuries have tapped into the abundant life of Jesus, each short, easy-to-read chapter lays out a practice such as prayer, Sabbath, saying no, gratitude, decluttering, celebration, and worship.

Pause--so you can look for God, listen for His voice, and fill yourself with His presence.
