Simple Book Reviews Summery

Do some of these book reviews feel like I'm saying the same thing over and over again? Sometimes it feels like to me too. I like simpleness books, but sometimes it can seem like they are repeating what other people have already written.

So why do I keep reading them? Because I need to be reminded of what I already know. Many times I don't learn something new while reading a simpleness book, but I'm reminded of what's important. I'm reminded to stay on track, don't get discouraged, and just keep doing what's important.

And I have about 10 more simpleness book on my to-read list. So sometime in the future I plan to do another month of reviews. For now I hope you have enjoyed these reviews. God bless and keep you, Rose

Living With Less

Although this book doesn't have simpleness in the title, it's another great book to get you thinking about how to downsize. With practical stories and advice for how to remove clutter (from your heart and home and schedule) this is one of the best books I have read. 

Mark Tabbs simple and matter-of-fact style makes this an easy and good read. His goal was to help change your thinking, not just changing the outward things. I liked that. It made a much bigger impact and set this book apart. 

When Life's Not Working: 7 Simple Choices For A Better Tomorrow

This one ended up not being one of my favorites. The title intrigued me, but when I started reading the book I didn't like it as much as I thought I would. 

Maybe this is because it is written from a guys perspective. It seemed like most of the subjects in this book were aimed at men. So if you're a guy who stumbled across my blog, I think this is the book for you. 

However, in saying that this book did get me to thinking that I do need to have some consistency in my life. Something that stays the same. Something that I enjoy. It was a good reminder. 

So while not the best simpleness book I've ever read, it was okay. 

A Place Called Simplicity

They sold their house and moved out to a quiet setting to find simplicity. In this simpleness book, Claire relates her simpleness journey. I enjoyed her simple and honest style of writing. 

When you open the book and start reading, it makes you feel calm and renewed. 

She also gives practical advice for steps you can take to a more simple lifestyle.

Tell Your Time

So simple isn't in the title of this book, but this book is still great if you want to get some pointers on simplifying your time. 

It's a short nice read that helps you start thinking about what you really want to do with your time. Having goals and focusing on them is the best way to ensure the most important stuff gets done. 

Plus it had some great tips from making goals, planning schedules, and more.   

Keep It Simple For The Busy Woman

This has been my favorite simpleness book that I have read so far. It's like a simpleness devotional. It is roughly divided into 12 months worth of devotionals on living life more simply.  

With specific suggestions, stories, and ways to enjoy life, this book is wonderful. Things like, splurge and take a friend to the theater. Bring some flowers in from outside. Take some time today to do something fun. And so on. 

I know that I came away from this book feeling encouraged and refreshed.
