An invitation to the fullness of a slower, simpler life
· Discover how to turn off the noise and pay attention
· Learn to resist the pace of our empty, consumer-driven culture
· Experience striking beauty, true friendship, tangible quiet, and deep contentment
In myriad ways and from every angle, this world calls us to move faster, work harder, digitize, monetize, and turn our lives into 15-second clips to get clicks, likes, and shares. In the meantime, we are missing the good things in life that are actually worth sharing. The joy of unhurried time spent outside. The camaraderie of knowing our neighbors. The fellowship of eating a simple homecooked meal with our families. God's goodness and truth wait patiently for us to turn off the noise and begin to pay attention.
This thoughtful yet eminently practical book is a compassionate guide to a slower, fuller, and more intentional life characterized by striking beauty, true friendship, tangible quiet, and deep contentment. Poetic, earnest, and full of hope, The Quiet Resistance gently leads us to discover the everyday miracles of being human, enjoying creation, and loving the people around us well.
Our greatest act of holy rebellion is resisting the frenetic pace and skewed priorities of our empty, consumer-driven culture. Why shouldn't this quiet revolution start with you?
