Alan is president and founder of Unhurried Living, Inc. in Mission Viejo, California. Alan and his wife Gem wanted to become the kind of people who had a life that was helpful to others ~ a journey: of unhurried living, of spiritual formation, of contemplative leadership, and rediscovering the genius of Jesus’ unhurried way. They do that through leadership retreats, coaching, speaking & spiritual direction. Alan’s newest book, (with IVP Formatio) A Year of Slowing Down: Daily Devotions for Unhurried Living is described as a daily 5-minute retreat. Amazon says: “There are six devotionals for each week of the year, each one an invitation to slow down and be present with the movement of God in your everyday life.” This book is a beautiful formational opportunity within a devotional helping our souls slow a bit more.
