Does this sound like you?
You keep waiting for a slower season to show up on its own, and it never does.
You can't remember the last time you did something just because it was fun, not because it got you somewhere.
You had a productive week and couldn't tell anyone what you actually felt while living it.You say "really busy" when someone asks how you're doing, and you wear it like a badge of honor.
You like the idea of being present but don’t know the last time you actually felt present.
You don't have to keep proving how much you can carry. You just need something to remind you that it's okay to stop rushing, that rest isn't wasted time, and that your life is still worth being present for. That's what this book is for.
What Readers Are Saying
"So much of myself wanted to give up, I could not imagine ever getting better." McKenna picked up Walk A Little Slower in the middle of a hard depression. "As I read through this book I was met with pages of encouragement, vulnerability, and hope. Tanner's writing, the hope it instilled in me, and the way it pointed me to Jesus, was so helpful."
"Tanner gets it. This is poetry for the non-poetry lover." Peter says he doesn't even like poetry, calling most of it "obtuse or pretentious." This book changed his mind. "It's simultaneously simple and yet deep...down to earth and self aware, but never holier-than-thou."
"I bought myself 10 copies to give as gifts." Elizabeth says. She reads it at night to calm down and again in the morning to set her mindset for the day.
