Live Slowly

Jodi Grubbs grew up on the Caribbean island of Bonaire, where life moved at an unhurried pace. After she left home for the United States, she took on the speed and stress of city life and was soon caught up in hustle culture, running on empty. Eventually she sensed God calling her back to the "island time" she had known as a child.

Live Slowly tells how Jodi found a place of refuge and learned to care for her soul by making room for God, for other people, and for herself. Drawing on the contentment she once felt in Bonaire's gentle rhythms, she found a way out of burnout and toward restoration.

She invites readers to adopt a sustainable way of living, built on the forced pauses of spiritual practices and an open-handed posture before God. Each chapter includes practical slow-living shifts for putting its ideas into practice, helping readers give themselves permission to rest and let go of the need to keep up.
