Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Religion columnist for the Scripps Howard News Service, Yount writes in a clear, simple style that suits his topic. His advice for paring down to necessities includes taking practical steps that save time and money and considering a whole inventory of mental, emotional, and spiritual elements. Relationships, work, health, faith, and every other facet of being can be examined to discover what is valuable and what is not. A grateful attitude, prayer and meditation, time for solitude, and self-examination are keys to establishing spiritual simplicity. A topic sure to interest today's seekers.
