An invitation to the fullness of a slower, simpler life
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 rush, something essential is being lost--not just our peace, but our ability to perceive God. When we cannot be still, we cannot hear. When we cannot slow down, we cannot see what God is doing all around us.
Bible teacher and podcaster Andrea G. Burke believes our greatest act of holy rebellion is resisting the frenetic pace and skewed priorities of our consumer-driven culture--and returning to the slow, physical, God-given rhythms that make us fully human. In this thoughtful yet eminently practical book, she invites you to
● Turn off the noise and pay attention to God, to creation, and to the people in front of you
● Resist the pace of a culture demanding speed and monetization, not as withdrawal from the world, but as a faithful, rooted presence within it
● Experience the good things we are missing--the joy of unhurried time outside, the camaraderie of knowing your neighbors, the fellowship of a simple homecooked meal with your family
● Discover striking beauty, true friendship, tangible quiet, and deep contentment
Poetic, earnest, and full of hope, The Quiet Resistance gently leads us to rediscover the everyday miracles of being human, enjoying creation, and loving the people around us well--all in the light of a God who is found more easily in the quiet than in the rush.
