Growing Slow
Book • 2021
In Growing Slow, Jennifer Dukes Lee shares her personal shift from a high-paced journalism career to life on a family farm, using the metaphor of agricultural seasons to explore spiritual formation.
She reflects on how embracing predictable rhythms—spring planting, summer tending, autumn harvest, and winter rest—helped her unlearn hurry and practice presence with God and family.
The book blends memoir, biblical reflection, and practical practices that encourage readers to notice small, meaningful moments and to grieve and rest when needed.
Through stories and spiritual insights, Dukes Lee argues that ordinary, unspectacular life is sacred and that slowing down cultivates deeper faith and emotional health.
Growing Slow offers actionable reminders and rhythms to help readers resist scarcity mindsets and cultivate peace in daily life.
