Another Good Friday

She thinks differently. And that is reason enough to like her.

My first experience with Ann Kroeker was one filled with grace. She offered words for a mother living life at a break-neck pace. She offered words to my wife, encouraging her to take in the precious years of parenting before *blink* they’re gone. And when I read these words, I knew that she understood parenting in a way that others only aspire to.

On her web-site, she has encouraged readers to join her community of memorizing-foodies, has asked us to make-do, and has compiled a complete list of favorite (and not-so favorite) words. She is thought provoking and always full of wisdom.

As if all of that were not enough, she is now the author of a book—Not So Fast—in which she shares “slow-down solutions for frenzied families.” Take a minute to visit Ann. And if you are inspired to slow your family down, to experience a truly authentic and meaningful family pace, visit Amazon (or her publisher) and get your copy of Not So Fast.

Thanks Ann for inspiring right living.  We applaud you!

In the coming weeks, we will be teaming up with The Runamuck to give a copy of Ann’s book away. Give us time to read it first, that way we can have a good chat about it over a nice cup of tea.

Ann is one of the greatest encouragers I’ve ever known. Great post, Seth.

Sounds like a book that might suit my fancy! Please make sure to let us know what you think!

Be Blessed,

Amy Honestly

Can’t wait to read your and Amber’s reviews–I know you’ll both be honest. But you two seem to already embrace a “not so fast” life, so you don’t really need the book.

Perhaps it will simply affirm your life choices!

Amy,

It’s definitely your kind of book. And Ann’s your kind of lady. You should spend some time running through her blog.

Ann,

Perhaps we embrace facets of it… but I think we tend to load ourselves down with tennis rackets, soccer balls, brief cases, and etc. We need your book for us. I can’t wait to read it.
