Don't Be a Slave to the Ding

**Every ding demands your attention. What is it costing you?**

A notification. A message. One more scroll. Before you know it, the quiet moment you needed has disappeared, the person beside you has gone unheard, and the time you intended to spend with God has slipped away.

In *Don’t Be a Slave to the Ding*, Pastor Louisa Handy draws from the biblical account of Mary and Martha to explore a familiar struggle: being so occupied with life’s demands that we miss the opportunity to be present with Jesus.

Through biblical teaching, personal reflection, and practical guidance, this book invites you to recognize what is competing for your attention and make room for what matters most. You’ll discover ways to establish healthier phone habits, protect time for prayer, and give the people you love more of your undivided attention.

An included **seven-day reset plan** helps you put these lessons into practice through small, intentional changes.

If you’re tired of feeling constantly available yet rarely fully present, this book offers an invitation to slow down, listen, and reconnect with God and the life unfolding around you.

**You don’t have to answer every ding. You can choose where your attention goes.**
