As a result of our driven lifestyles, our souls are dis-eased—they have a lack of ease. This highly practical, comforting book maintains that it is possible to run the race at a different, more meaningful speed. Not only is it possible, it’s absolutely necessary.
The key to simplifying life, Chip Ingram claims, is to make sure love is your #1 priority. Love redirects our focus and unravels the complex, over-extended lifestyle that keeps us always running but never arriving. In Spiritual SimplicitySpiritual Simplicity, Ingram explains how to change our love from a noun to a verb and choose to concentrate on what really matters: the people who are important to us.
