Discover the answer to our culture’s need for simplicity and peace—by doing less and loving more. If you crave simplicity, yearn for peace and calm, this is the book for you. Author Chip Ingram goes beyond quick fixes and speaks to all of us who find it impossible to break free of our busy lifestyles, filled with too many good and important things that fill our schedules. The message of this book is simple: Spiritual simplicity will not be achieved by strategic attempts to control our lives and schedules but through doing less because we are able to love more. As you learn the practice of loving people, you will experience a shift from complex to simple, from hurried to peaceful, from “never enough time” to “time enough for those you love.” It’s time to redirect our focus from the complex, overextended lifestyle that keeps us running but never arriving. In Spiritual Simplicity, learn how to “reorient your life around life. The result is a life whose priorities are so radically rearranged that” (Dave Stone, author of the Faithful Families series) lasting change is finally within your reach.

The frantic pace of contemporary life leaves our bodies exhausted, our minds stressed, and our spirits depleted. In a book that is at once profound and pragmatic, the acclaimed author of GROWING IN FAITH explains how to clear away the physical and mental debris that clutters our lives and concentrate on nourishing our capacities for giving and receiving love. Creating a simple life requires nothing more than motivation and a straightforward plan and Yount provides them both. Yount shows us that there is a better way that is simpler, relaxed and vastly more rewarding physically, emotionally and spiritually. Men and women who simplify their lives discover that their senses sharpen, that their health improves, and that they become more loving, compassionate, and more at peace with themselves. These inspiring stories will inspire readers to begin their own journeys. To help them get started, SPIRITUAL SIMPLICITY includes easy 'how-to' exercises that lead the way to living not just from the head but from the heart and the soul.
