The Too-Busy Book: Slowing Down to Catch Up with Life
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 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.

If you find that you're too busy and frazzled to pray, think, and journal, this book might help. Each day has a short reading with prayer prompts, reflection questions, and journal prompts. Gives food for thought and contemplation.

I LOVE the back cover blurb:
"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.

We are a BUSY PEOPLE!
Life is just that way...
But it doesn't HAVE TO BE!
We CAN take control! We CAN stop burning the candle at both ends!
Each chapter gives:
*a scripture to contemplate
*inspiration to savor
*a sample prayer to give
*things to reflect upon
*ideas to journal about
I LOVE daily thought books!
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ONE!
Let's "slow down to catch up with life."

I learned a good bit from this book, had some new-old books/authors to read. Many chapters spoke to me while others were dull. Glad I read it but this it not a reread for me. That is the reason I gave it three stars.

A call to intimacy with Christ. A good reminder to slow down and focus on what really matters.
