The Speed of Soul: Four Rhythms for a Quiet Life in a World of Noise by Tommy Brown - A Book Review

 

This short book gave me much to ponder. I appreciate that it provided both sage advice which I readily contemplated embracing in my own life as well as statements with which I wrestled, deciding whether to synthesize or reject based on my current knowledge. The Sound of Soul caused me to think deeply, to pause and discuss those thoughts, and to consider life changing paradigm shifts. The text centers around 1 Thessalonians 4:9-12 in which Paul urges believers to love deeply, live quietly, mind their own affairs, and to work with their hands. Tommy Brown fleshes out each of these, explaining how they assist one in finding their center and steadying their soul. While readers are not likely to accept everything he says at face value, there is much here to learn, and wrestling with the other things brings its own kind of awareness.

I am grateful to have received a complimentary copy of The Speed of Soul from NavPress via NetGalley without obligation. All opinions expressed here are my own.
