A Spacious Life: Trading Hustle and Hurry for the Goodness of Limits
We're told that freedom and opportunity are our ticket to the good life.Ā Get out there and follow your dreams! Be the hero of your own story! Find your happiness! Live your best life!Ā It seems that limitless possibilities await anyone with vision and willingness to hustle their way through life. The thing is, instead of resulting in a sense of accomplishment, this limitlessness merely has us doing more and trying harderāleaving us depleted and dissatisfied. With lifeĀ andĀ faith. Ashley Hales invites us to a better way: a more spacious life. Contrary to what we've believed, the spacious life is not found in unfettered options or accomplished by our hustle and hurry. The life we crave is found within the confines of God's loving limits. Ashley helps us recognize that when we live within these boundaries, we discover a life filled with purpose, joy, and rest. This is the spacious lifeāfinding true freedom within the good limits given to us by our good God.
Reviews: "Hales' suggestion to make more space for Jesus in one's life will resonate with Christians who feel harried by the busyness of modern living." -- Publishers Weekly Review, July 2021
"Most of us in the West are trying to do too much. We wear ourselves out with our mad dash to make something of ourselves and secure a sense of significance. In A Spacious Life, Ashley Hales shows us a better path of flourishing by meditating on the goodness of creaturely limits and the wise way of Jesus. Her theologically rich and pastoral invitation to slow down is a needed tonic in our culture of ambition and excess." -- Tish Harrison Warren, Anglican priest and author of Liturgy of the Ordinary and Prayer in the Night
