Synopsis

We're told that freedom and opportunity are our ticket to the good life. Get out there and follow your dreams! Be the hero of your own story! Find your happiness! Live your best life! It seems that limitless possibilities await anyone with vision and willingness to hustle their way through life.

The thing is, instead of resulting in a sense of accomplishment, this limitlessness merely has us doing more and trying harder—leaving us depleted and dissatisfied. With life and faith.

Ashley Hales invites us to a better way: a more spacious life. Contrary to what we've believed, the spacious life is not found in unfettered options or accomplished by our hustle and hurry. The life we crave is found within the confines of God's loving limits. Ashley helps us recognize that when we live within these boundaries, we discover a life filled with purpose, joy, and rest.

This is the spacious life—finding true freedom within the good limits given to us by our good God.

Ashley's work is honest and lives and breathes in the real-life. Hence it's as practical as it is insightful. I resonate deeply with the topic of her book, as someone who spent the bulk of her adulthood living life like a relentless race with no boundaries around the course I’d set before me. I beli......more

I started reading "A Spacious Life" with the free excerpt offered by the publisher, InterVarsity Press, and I could feel myself relaxing as I read. "Our God-given limits are the doorway to a more spacious life," writes author Ashley Hales. Since then I've been savouring the rest of the book, each fr......more

Goodreads review by Aberdeen on July 27, 2022

A beautiful book in so many ways. Ashley's prose is lovely—I was continually surprised and delighted by a turn of phrase or a metaphor she used. She quotes from a range of thinkers, bringing some of the best gems of the brightest theological minds into the midst of discussions about career disappoin......more
