"Living life at the speed of sound or, rather, living life to the sound of other people demanding that we relentlessly pursue recognition, material success, and professional achievement is physically and spiritually exhausting. Busyness in the Chinese language means 'heart annihilation.' We are being annihilated by all of this hamster wheel living. We need to live before we die! The God who redeemed our souls has given us the responsibility to become custodians of their care. Our souls are constantly under siege by the culture. Sadly, most of us take better care of our cars than our souls! Stephen W. Smith's latest book, Soul Custody: Choosing to Care for the One and Only You, offers eight life-giving choices that everyone can make to free their souls from the world's demands and release them to live meaningful and satisfying lives."
