by Ashley Anderson Hales (Author)
We're told that freedom and opportunity are our ticket to the good life. Get out there and follow your dreams! Be the hero of your own story! Find your happiness! Live your best life! It seems that limitless possibilities await anyone with vision and willingness to hustle their way through life.
The thing is, instead of resulting in a sense of accomplishment, this limitlessness merely has us doing more and trying harder--leaving us depleted and dissatisfied. With life and faith.
Ashley Hales invites us to a better way: a more spacious life. Contrary to what we've believed, the spacious life is not found in unfettered options or accomplished by our hustle and hurry. The life we crave is foundwithin the confines of God's loving limits. Ashley helps us recognize that when we live within these boundaries, we discover a life filled with purpose, joy, and rest.
This is the spacious life--finding true freedom within the good limits givento us by our good God.
