Present Over Perfect: Leaving Behind Frantic for a Simpler, More Soulful Way of Living | Shauna Niequist

Dear teachers and students. Today, the Inspire Library, in partnership with the Book Companion Club, would like to introduce Shauna Niequist’s book “Present Over Perfect: Leaving Behind Frantic for a Simpler, More Soulful Way of Living” to teachers and students.

"Don't trust the outside world with your life. Take control of your surroundings. Raise your voice a notch. Let's get started singing your tune. This is your chance to start again and build a life that resonates to you."

Shauna Niequist, an author noted for her profound and unique spiritual life, frequently writes on life's precious moments, including family, friendship, loyalty, books, cuisine, marriage, love, and despair – all of the things that define us, make us happy, and sad. Family, quiet dinner gatherings, and books are Shauna's three great pleasures. She believes that people can recover practically anything by not hiding their pain, laughing freely, and eating cold pizza for breakfast.

Shauna's "wind-up" journey – from exhaustion to peace, solitude to connection, hustle and bustle to divine existence – is chronicled in this book. Because it is the greatest transformation, greatest difficulty, and most rewarding reward in the author's adult life, the book “Present Over Perfect: Leaving Behind Frantic for a Simpler, More Soulful Way of Living” is an invitation to go on a similar journey.

Dear teachers and students, please stay tuned and read!
