-->Living with Less: The Upside of Downsizing Your Lifeby Mark Tabb
Living
with less is a concept many of us struggle with, which is why I decided to
feature the book review of Mark Tabb’s work on tough truth Tuesday. I don’t
know about you, but when I think about living with less, I get fired up. I’m
one hundred percent in. It sounds great, but when it comes time to put that
great idea into practice it doesn’t sound quite so wonderful. Tabb claims to be
no stranger to this train of thinking. With the exception of a few doctrinal
issues, Tabb does an exceptional job explaining that living with less is not a
one-time-spring-cleaning event of our material possessions. Living with less is
a state of mind we must develop within ourselves.
“No one wants to live a life that is pointless. Our souls
are hardwired for something more.”
“The old English preacher, Charles Spurgeon said, ‘A good
character is the best tombstone. Those who loved you, and were helped by you,
will remember you when forget-me-nots are withered. Carve your name on hearts
and not marble.’”
“Influence demands relationships and time. There is no
other way. And both of these demand we clear all the unimportant items out of
our way and make relationships and time together our priorities. They demand we
take on the heart of a servant.”
