Join us as we welcome Mt. Airyites Becca Ehrlich and Callie Swanlund as they discuss Becca’s new book “Christian Minimalism: Simple Steps for Abundant Living.”
Ehrlich's insightful self-help guide will resonate with Christians wishing to streamline an overstuffed life.
--Publishers Weekly
Logically, we all know our purpose in life is not wrapped up in accumulating possessions, wealth, power, and prestige--Jesus is very clear about that--but society tells us otherwise. Christian Minimalism attempts to cut through our assumptions and society's lies about what life should look like and invites readers into a life that Jesus calls us to live: one lived intentionally, free of physical, spiritual, and emotional clutter.
Written by a woman who simplified her own life and practices these principles daily, this book gives readers a fresh perspective on how to live out God's grace for us in new and exciting ways and live out our faith in a way that is deeply satisfying.
Becca Ehrlich is an ordained pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA) living in West Mt Airy in Philadelphia. A Christian minimalist in a consumer society, she got rid of 60 percent of her personal possessions in six months, took part in a year-long shopping fast, and moved into a smaller home. Becca blogs about minimalism from a Christian perspective at www.christianminimalism.com and shares inspiration and encouragement to live a more minimal life on the Christian Minimalism Facebook page, Christian Minimalism Twitter @jesusminimalism, and the Christian Minimalism Instagram @jesusminimalism.
