Seeking simplicity is going against everything our popular culture teaches us. It is being courageous enough to say, "I don't have to have it all, enough is enough!" Complexity is normal in life, simplicity takes effort. Courage is required to make the decision to enter into a relationship with God and evaluate life on your own terms, set your priorities, and decide what deems you a success. The book is written from a Christian viewpoint with scriptural references throughout.
The basic tenet is that if we seek first the kingdom of God, then He will make clear to us where we should be placing our time, talents, and energies. Knowing clearly what God is calling you to do, allows you to say "No" to unnecessary busy work and rid yourself of activities that clutter your life.
The writer speaks from the framework of a committed Christian who has taken many wrong turns in this journey of life. She also speaks as a professional counselor and clinical specialist in nursing with over twenty-eight years of working with women who struggle to be all things to all people and have experienced burnout or depression in the process. So, if you are Up to the challenge, read on. I trust you will find your soul and your creator in the process that has been set down in these pages.
