Our obsession with bigger and faster is spinning us out of control. We move through the week breathless and bustling, just trying to keep up while longing to slow down. But real life happens in the small moments, the kind we find on Tuesday, the most ordinary day of the week. Tuesday carries moments we want to hold onto--as well as ones we'd rather leave behind. It holds secrets we can't see in a hurry--secrets not just for our schedules but for our souls. It offers us a simple bench on which to sit, observe, and share our stories.For those being pulled under by the strong current of expectation, comparison, and hurry, relief is found more in our small moments than in our fast movements. In Simply Tuesday , Emily P. Freeman helps readers- stop dreading small beginnings and embrace today's work- find contentment in the now--even when the now is frustrating or discouraging- replace competition with compassion- learn to breathe in a breathless worldJesus lived small moments well, slow moments fully, and all moments free. He lives with us still, on all our ordinary days, creating and redeeming the world both in us and through us, one small moment at a time. It's time to take back Tuesday, to release our obsession with building a life, and believe in the life Christ is building in us--every day.
It always said just what I needed to hear, just when I needed to hear it

This book has been such a beautiful reminder of peace for me in periods of transition, when I was feeling the most anxious. It should be read by anyone who is struggling with the feeling of being “stuck” or the pressure to do something bigger than they are now. It reminds us, in the most beautiful words, to be okay with slowing down and taking the time to find out who God wants us to be and what He wants is to do. Living small is not living unimportantly. Those kinds of comparisons are too human for such a great God.
