There is a strong biblical tradition of seeking release from the maelstrom of our hectic world and following a life of peace and simplicity. Arguably, it has never been harder to harmonise this discipline with the rich complexities of our busy lives.

Acclaimed spiritual writer and teacher Richard Foster has responded to the unique pressures of the twenty-first century with this updated and heavily revised edition of one of his most valuable books.

With warmth, humanity and his deep knowledge of Scripture, Foster guides us on the path to a more fulfilling life and faith, teaching us to listen, give, understand, show compassion and accept what we already have.
