The Too Busy Book
by Linda Anderson
God Is Not in a Hurry.
So why are we...all the time? If we were created in his image, why are we so determined to move at a pace faster than his? It's time to step on the brakes, slow down, and begin living the unhurried life God wants for us. If you are like most women today, you may have picked up this book thinking: "I'll take a fast look before getting back to my to-do list. Maybe this will help me get more done." You're in for a surprise! "The Too-Busy Book" offers both permission and pathways to slow your life down permanently and enjoy the process of living.
Here Is Your Invitation to Exchange Busyness for Bounty.
This collection of reflections, journaling questions, and practical, decision-making helps will gently lead you from frenzied to focused, from busy to balanced. Written in coffee-break length chapters," The Too-Busy Book "is an irresistible summons to slow down and catch up with the abundant life you were created to enjoy.
"Come away with me," Jesus says, "and you'll recover your life...I'll show you how to take a real rest.... Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly," (from Matthew 11: 28-29, MSG)
If living "freely and lightly" is the first thing you yearn for but the last thing you have time to do, here is a book that will open your heart to God's design for a life both rested and full. Discover his peaceful abundance through:
-Brief but rich "meditations "that will help you to clearly see the many facets of a "too busy" life through Biblical reflections.
-Guided and motivating" reflection sections "that will help you explore your most vivid hopes and plans, your deepestdreams and prayers.
-Clarifying and hope-filled "journaling sections" and "decision pages "that can help you consider the specific ways you are ready to design a life lived in Christ's gentle pace.
While this is a women's resource, it has devotions and helpful tips for both men and women who are too busy.
The God of the universe is not in a hurry. He's inviting you to dance to his unique and liberating rhythm.
