Finding Focus in a Whirlwind World

by Jean Fleming

"For Jean Fleming, life as a Christian seemed increasingly characterized by a whirlwind of disciplines and demands, which threatened to sweep away her longed for center of intimacy with God. Finding Focus in a Whirlwind World sets forth the major discovery in her search to resolve this focusing life, not simplifying it--or even balancing it --- is the key to truly Christ-centered living. This book brings her refreshing insight to Making God our Director and Audience, Leaning the secret of contentment, discerning when "busy" is too busy, marrying service and solitude."

Reviews

[Elaine Mazzo · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really liked this book because the author talks about finding our focus in Christ and when we do that we will naturally let things go that do not matter.

Her idea of simplicity and simple living was to focus on Christ and the things that matter to Him.

I would definitely recommend this to readers who are caught up in the busy world and want to get off that track.
