Customer Reviews

I always knew...

that I was being called to a simplier life. As I read this awesome book, what I knew was calling me and tugging at my heart for so long was being reaffirmed. God wants to be the center of our lives. By turning back to simplicity and leaning on Him we accomplish just that. This book is well worth the time...

Enlightening!

This book was given to me following the birth of my first child. At first I could not see the relevance, but soon thanked my wise friend. This book was of tremendous value to me as I developed my new identity and began to reprioritize my life. I was inspired to declutter my life -- not just of physical possessions but also of the trivial matters that I often allowed to irritate me. I have since given the book as a gift on many occasions. I've added the book to my "library" of other comfort readings: the entire Chicken Soup series, The Moral Compass and various devotionals-- specifically those of Stormie O'Martian.

This book is the starting point. Still the best.

This is the best book I have read on wooing one into the basic philosophy of simplicity. There is a spiritual place in all of us that needs to be filled, and this book points out the path. I have given this book as a gift more than any other and every time I have received profuse thanks in return.

Simplicity in its most attainable form.

The gentle, and inspiring text has the ability to move one gently toward the desired simplicity of living and without regard to finances. The simple concepts with gentle guidence is a marvel. This is one of my favorite gifts to share with others.

A wonderful book!

This is probably the sweetest, most beautiful book I've ever read on the subject of simplifying your life. It's probably helped me more on the path of inner and outer simplicity than anything else I've read. Can I give it a 10+ rating??
