– The 2014 Christianity Today Book Award of Merit Winner (Spirituality)’I am a recovering speed addict.’
Beginning with this confession, pastor and spiritual director Alan Fadling describes his journey out of the fast lane and into the rhythms of Jesus. Following the framework of Jesus' earthly life, Fadling shows how the work of ‘unhurrying’ ourselves is central to our spiritual development in pivotal areas such as resisting temptation, caring for others, praying, and making disciples.
We are all called to do work, Fadling affirms, and productivity is not a sin—it is the attitudes behind our work that can be our undoing. So how do we find balance between our sense of calling and the call to rest? An Unhurried Life offers a way. This revised edition, now in hardcover, includes a new five-session group guide and appendix with suggestions for five-minute retreats.
