Life in the Slow Lane

In a world obsessed with being extraordinary, is there anything wrong with simply living a peaceful, faithful life?

In Life in the Slow Lane, 86-year-old David Morrison reflects on a life that may seem unremarkable by the world’s standards, but has been rich in meaning, purpose, and quiet faithfulness.

David shares the story of an “ordinary” life—one he considers a privilege to have lived.

A committed Christian since the age of sixteen, he has always sought to please God not through grand gestures, but by hoping to be a devoted husband, a faithful father, and a diligent worker in whatever task was set before him.

From his early days as a clerk in the Commonwealth Attorney-General’s Department to his long career as a teacher, David’s journey is marked by a close walk with God, a lasting marriage, and strong family ties.

Life in the Slow Lane is a gentle reminder that success doesn’t always look flashy—and that a life lived with quiet faithfulness can be truly extraordinary. This book is partly biographical and partly a reflection on the world as David has observed it.
