Nichole Nordeman, the acclaimed worship leader currently traveling with Jen Hatmaker and Shauna Niequist on the Belong Tour, struck a nerve with parents all over the country with her viral hit Slow Down. With 14 million views in the first five days of the video release (and a total that continues to climb well past 21 million total views), Nichole s message of cherishing a childhood that moves fast and the value of slowing down to catch the beauty resonated with listeners. Media outlets include Today, Ellen, ABC News, Fox News, Women s Day, the Huffington Post, and more reached out to highlight the video and continue to share the message of the song.

Slow Down will be a gift book focusing on being intentional and deliberate about slowing down our busy lives. Essays from Nichole, as well as testimonies and stories from listeners and some of Nichole s personal friends, such as Jen Hatmaker and Shauna Niequist, will cover practical tips and tricks on the topic, making Slow Down an accessible, tangible tool in helping readers take the time to savor their daily lives. The book will also feature journaling space, ideal for readers to reflect and brainstorms ways in which they can slow down.

Beautifully-designed and highly-giftable, Slow Down has a timeless message that will resonate with readers across the spectrum of parenthood and beyond. With Nichole s growing popularity, proven sales history (1 million+ career sales through her music), and busy touring season with the Belong Tour, we see this as a strategic step in what could prove to be a highly valuable partnership.
