For many of us, the modern world is overwhelming. Fast-paced. Hard-edged. Exhausting. People are craving more peace. It's no wonder we have seen the social media trend of returning to traditional skills and ways of life. People are craving change. A return to simple and peaceful living. But could this be more than a pretty aesthetic? Is there more connection to be found in living a handmade, homegrown and slow life?In A YEAR TO SLOW DOWN Rachel Bearn shares her own experience of how reducing her pace helped her begin to heal from severe chronic illness and connect deeper with her faith. Over twelve months she shares the benefits of living slowly, quietly and in the present moment, dependent on God and God alone - as he always intended for us.This is a practical guidebook that takes readers through the four seasons of the year, incorporating the festivals and celebrations that have punctuated the Christian calendar for generations and encouraging you to live seasonally and in the moment.

"RACHEL BEARN was forced to halt the pace of life when she became chronically ill in her twenties. But something born out of privation blossomed into a kinder way of living, one in harmony with the natural rhythms of the earth, the counsel of the Bible, the Church's year, and the habits that were second nature to our grandmothers... She calls it "a Christian guide to embracing the handmade and homegrown". It is a veritable Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management in some respects, packed with practical suggestions for everything from making lavender soap and and garlic butter to cutting down on screen time and and looking after your knitwear; for living life at such a pace has lost us all connection to the home, she suggests."
