Love Fast Live Slow
Humanity is overwhelmed with feelings of distress now more than ever, but God has good news. You don't have to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders. Just love fast and live slow.
The world is looking for a solution to the angst. A trending solution to this overarching misalignment is to fill our lives with more. More stuff. More money. More exercise. More volunteering. More prestige. We look outward to satisfy our hunger for happiness. When the pendulum swings too far in our pursuit for more, it leads us to countering that busyness with a desperate evacuation: having less, doing less, spending less, conquering less. We see this trend expanding as shows like Tidy Up and the minimalist movement climb the charts. However, owning less or doing less is still an external solution to an internal problem.
Have you ever come to God begging for clarity? We have. And He's told us (multiple times), "I'll let you know what you need to know when you need to know it. In the meantime, do what I've already told you." And what we know we should be doing, rain or shine, clear or foggy, is to live like Jesus did. That is why Love Fast Live Slow exists.
Discover the simplicity of reflecting Jesus in a stressful world.
- No more wondering if you've done enough.
- No more questioning God's purpose for you.
- No more overthinking every decision.
Skim the aisles of any bookstore or best seller list, and you are sure to find fancy self-help books reminding you to live your best life. Many people write about compassion and acts of philanthropy. Many people teach self-care and productivity hacks. Yet, even with endless access to said solutions, what about the times when life just stinks? Let's be honest here, the rise of anxiety and depression is growing in unprecedented numbers.
The captivating stories in this read provide a snapshot of what can and should be for believers who slowly breathe in the fresh wind of the Spirit and exhale that love and grace to the world. As you read Love Fast Live Slow, you will be challenged to evaluate your habits and relationships, and prayerfully rebuild a life that reflects the glory of God in your home and your spheres of influence.
"Timely and relevant. Our world needs a tangible picture of love that portrays a true portrait of Christ to the world."
"In a day when society tells us to go faster and look out for ourselves it seems everyone is more exasperated and on edge. Nick and Laura Mendenhall offer a refreshing challenge to Love Fast and Live Slow. Their personal stories inspire a fresh outlook on life and challenge the reader to take a step back, breath deep, and love big."
"Timely. In a world that demands we live fast and love selectively (as time allows), Nick and Laura share stories that resonate with those of us who feel the strain from busyness and subsequent exhaustion. If ever the world needed more people to live and love in that way, it is now."
"Love Fast Live Slow is not a catchy phrase or clever mantra for a select sub group. It is a biblically based, practical invitation to us all to live a God honoring, simplified life; one we would do well to accept in this stress-filled life."
"Within the pages of this book your worldview will be flipped upside down. You will laugh, cry and completely relate to Nick and Laura as they guide you through the message God has given them to share with the world, 'Love Fast, Live Slow.'"
