"This is a comfortable book--as peace-filled as its title suggests and as subtle as its sub-title promises. But if you believe, as I do, our faith is written in our lives and that souls are the eternal, animate result of that union, then you need to stop a while and read what Lisa McMinn has to say about the process."
Phyllis Tickle, The Farm In Lucy

"This autobiographical reflection on simplifying life is a lovely addition to popular Christian literature. Especially calming are its phrases `mellowness of heart' and `walking gently', traits that we would all do well to embrace."
Ellen T. Charry, Assoc. Professor of Systematic Theology, Princeton Theological Seminary

"This book is challenging, encouraging, provocative. We would all do well to accept Lisa McMinn's invitation to contentment."
