Publisher Description
We want to believe that a slower life is possible, but we're afraid of what we'll miss if we don't keep up the pace. So we bend to the pressure and miss the gift of rest and slowness. What if we could move from a place of depleting hurry to grasp the high reward of good things grown slowly?
In this Bible study, which accompanies a trade book by the same name, Jennifer Dukes Lee helps readers dig deep into Scripture to reveal how land is a picture of our slow growth into claiming the promises of God. The land is more than a backdrop for the Bible. It is a central part of the magnificent narrative, from the very beginning when Creator God used dirt to make life on a farm called Eden. Jennifer weaves these biblical lessons into her own experience of the importance of land, gleaned from her fifth-generation farm. The land--both then and now--teaches us how to un-hurry our hurry-sick hearts.

Growing Slow Bible Study
I read the Growing Slow book and Bible study together. Both books are excellent resources to help “unhurry your heart” as Jennifer puts it. Our world today is so fast paced. We think we have to keep pushing to accomplish more. But at some point our speed leaves us just going through the motions. As a result, we miss so much of the life that God has placed around us. Jennifer uses the analogy of her farm, as well as the four seasons, throughout these books. But don’t let that deter you. I have read other books where the authors use too many analogies and poetic writing, leaving me lost and confused about what they were talking about. Not so with Jennifer. She writes so clearly and down to earth, which is something I very much appreciate. These books will help you learn to grow slow in your life. You will find time for the little things. And you will discover that the little things really are the big things.
