An Invitation to Slow: Resist the Speed of Now, Make Space for Quiet, and Cultivate an Intentional Life - Softcover
Synopsis
We live in a day of fast information, fast fingers, fast food, fast shipping, fast words, fast anger, and fast judgment. Our fight-or-flight impulses keep us on high alert, aided by mobile devices that vibrate each time another crisis strikes. All this fastness can easily interfere with a slow, intentional life grounded in God’s love.
Christian faith has deep treasures and practices to offer us. How will we live, and who will we be in this highly charged era where politics, economics, environment, and social norms are under significant duress?
Come explore quieter, more intentional ways of being, and how these might attune us to the slow work of God in order that we might love one another and the world as God does. Our chapters pair a lure to move fast with an invitation to slow. Becoming slow to anger is an invitation to empathy, slow to judge is an invitation to humility, and slow to grasp is an invitation to contentment. Ultimately, each of these invitations is a movement toward God.

About the Authors
Mark R. McMinn is professor emeritus at George Fox University and a licensed psychologist in Oregon. Lisa Graham McMinn is a sociologist, writer-in-residence at George Fox University, and a certified spiritual director. They have each written books separately throughout their long marriage, but rarely together. Mark and Lisa live on a small farm in Oregon's Willamette Valley where they tend Nigerian Dwarf dairy goats and grow berries, apples, and pears.
After a good season in academia, writing and teaching college students to see the world through sociological lenses, Lisa shifted focus and is a spiritual director who sits with people two days a week. She is a contemplative Quaker who meanders woods, tends goats and gardens, and seeks to be attuned to God's movement in the storied lives of all beings.
