Have you ever stopped to think, Maybe the Amish are on to something?

Something is wrong—terribly wrong—about the way we spend our time. We Tweet while we work, text while we drive, and basically stare at our computer screens until we fall into bed at night. We are plugged in 24/7! And it’s not just us. Our kids spend one hundred times more hours staring at a screen each week than they do playing outside—and we wonder why so many children are being treated for ADHD, depression, and obesity-related ailments.

It’s time to simplify our lives—to slow down, make faith and family the focal point, and recapture the lost art of simple living. And what group has kept simplicity, family, and faith at the center of all they say and do better than the Amish?

Building on the core principles of Amish life, Nancy Sleeth explains how making conscious choices to limit (and in some cases, eliminate) technology’s hold on our lives and get back to the basics can help us lead calmer, more focused, less harried lives, resulting in stronger, deeper relationships with our families, friends, and God.
