Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Simplify Your Life and Get More Out of It!
H. Norman Wright · 1998
63/100
👎 Skip It
Licensed therapist H. Norman Wright brings real credentials and genuine pastoral warmth to a book that weaves biblical perspective through practical life simplification — pace, possessions, relationships, spiritual health. For the audience it's written for (Christian adults feeling genuinely overwhelmed), this is a coherent, caring guide from someone who has counseled families professionally for decades. The simplicity genre has become crowded since 1998, and the concepts here are now well-traveled ground, but the faith integration is sincere and the structure is solid.
