Description
Are you tired of living a life that doesn't fit? Find your place and serve others in a way that is truly yours.
Without a clear sense of identity, we find ourselves squeezed into jobs and activities that are not right for us. Our days are filled to the brim with things others want us to do, things we feel we should do, and things that just happen across our paths. We are bored, busy, strung out and just plain weary.
As you journey through Boots That Fit, you will learn to use your unique gifts and callings to serve God and your community in ways that suit your personality, your values and your life situation. Ruth Amos gives practical advice that helps you say no to the activities that are not yours, and to organise your life so that you can make the time and have the energy for pursuits that bring you joy.
Author of My Year of Saying No, and creator of A Quiet Life, her blog and podcast, Ruth Amos has spent the last five years helping others simplify their lives and live more peacefully and with more purpose. Her wisdom has been appreciated by people aged 20 and 80 and everyone in between.

Ruth is an author, podcaster, blogger, speaker, and editor. After working as a lecturer in chemistry for ten years, she left the hustle of academia to follow her ambition to lead a quiet life (1 Thess 4:11). Since then, she has published five novels and a memoir, gone on several quiet retreats, taken regular Sabbaths, and learned to live in the 'unforced rhythms of grace' (Matt 11:28-30, The Message). You may have heard her regular Thursday morning chats with Scottie on Ultra106.5.Ruth is married to Moz, and they have two grown-up children, two children-in-law and two delightful grandsons. She loves reading, is a relatively unskilled knitter, and enjoys walking along the beach (pretty much any beach will do).
