Description
"Ehrlich's insightful self-help guide will resonate with Christians wishing to streamline an overstuffed life."-Publishers Weekly
Logically, we all know our purpose in life is not wrapped up in accumulating possessions, wealth, power, and prestige-Jesus is very clear about that-but society tells us otherwise. Christian Minimalism attempts to cut through our assumptions and society's lies about what life should look like and invites readers into a life that Jesus calls us to live: one lived intentionally, free of physical, spiritual, and emotional clutter.
Written by a woman who simplified her own life and practices these principles daily, this book gives readers a fresh perspective on how to live out God's grace for us in new and exciting ways and live out our faith in a way that is deeply satisfying.
Fulfill your longing for a simpler life, with time for God and what matters most.
