What People are Saying About This

Chris E. W. Green

Pressured by life’s demands and religious ambitions, we are always racing ahead of the Spirit, striving to get more, be better, and do great things for God. Thankfully, this book doesn’t shout at us to slow down. It doesn’t preach peace but shares it, drawing us back gently to the unhurried rhythms of grace. There are no quick solutions here, just the quiet wisdom of someone who’s learned how good it is to keep pace with the “three-mile-an-hour God.”

Kat Armstrong

I’ve lived most of my life in a harried state of multitasking—such is the life of a busy working mom on a mission to follow Jesus. But like many of my peers, I’m tired. I often wonder if we can truly be as effective and fruitful as Jesus envisioned his followers to be when our tanks are empty and our attention is fractured.Tommy’s book The Speed of Soul is powerful because it’s simple, direct, and incredibly practical. I’ll be recommending it to every Christian I know.

Marty Solomon

What a handy and concise examination of the things that matter most. There’s not a wasted word here. Brown has the wonderful ability to take something deep and profound and place it in a galvanizing framework. The Wisdom Circle he describes here is a simple way of grounding myself when life gets crazy. I will be returning to this treasure again and again, both within its pages and in my own mind and heart.

Tanya Godsey

Every chapter in The Speed of Soul flows against the cultural current to shepherd us, forward and free, into transformational inner examination. This book is a North Star guiding our hearts back home to holy reform and to the power and practicalities of Scripture as our true compass for lives of restored margin and meaning. If you’re ready to step out of the frantic flow of a hectic and hurried life and into the wide-open, spacious clearing that is God’s invitational rest, every page of this work is a trustworthy guide.

Derek AND Katelyn Drye

This book is for anyone who has ever found themselves overfunctioning. In a world full of hurry, Tommy’s hard questions have a way of quieting the noise and drawing us back to center. He gets to the heart of the matter by digging deep into simple truths—truths that always seem to lead back to the ultimate Helper. Tommy, thank you for your relational investment in us and for courageously unpacking the stories we tell ourselves.

Dr. Jeremy Sims

Tommy Brown’s The Speed of Soul isn’t a call to add one more practice to an already crowded schedule but an invitation to recalibrate the very shape of our lives around four simple, interlocking rhythms drawn from 1 Thessalonians 4:9-12. Having known Tommy for over twenty-five years, I can attest that this is sage wisdom from someone who isn’t just writing a book but living these truths. His own steady center of gravity is a testament to the deep stillness and purpose he so generously teaches.
