A Year to Slow Down: A Christian Guide to Embracing Handmade & Homegrown (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780281091133)

For many of us, the modern world is overwhelming. Fast-paced. Hard-edged. Exhausting. People are craving more peace. It's no wonder we have seen the social media trend of returning to traditional skills and ways of life. People are craving change. A return to simple and peaceful living. But could this be more than a pretty aesthetic? Is there more connection to be found in living a handmade, homegrown and slow life?

In A YEAR TO SLOW DOWN Rachel Bearn shares her own experience of how living life in this way helped her begin to heal from severe chronic illness and connect deeper with her faith. Over twelve months she shares the benefits of living slowly, quietly and in the present moment dependent on God and God alone is always what he intended for us.

This is a practical guidebook that takes you through the four seasons of the year, incorporating the festivals and celebrations that have punctuated the Christian year for generations and encouraging you to live seasonally and in the present moment.
