Simplicity is not merely a matter of having less stress and more leisure. It is rather an essential spiritual discipline that we must practice for the health of the soul. Twenty-five years after it first appeared, this updated edition of Richard Foster's classic work explores the foundation of this discipline, its fundamental importance in the Bible, and how it has been manifested and taught by God's saints throughout Christian history. This beautiful, moving manifesto on incorporating simplicity into our hectic lives still rings true---and is even more needed today.
