Christianity Today 2023 Book Award Winner (Popular Theology)
Work. Family. Church. Exercise. Sleep.
The list of demands on your time seems to be never ending. It can leave you feeling a little guilty--like you should always be doing one more thing.
Rather than sharing better time-management tips to squeeze more hours out of the day, Kelly Kapic offers a better way to make peace with the fact that God didn't create us to do it all by
● exploring the theology behind seeing our human limitations as a gift rather than a deficiency
● laying out a path to holistic living with life-giving relationships and meaningful contributions to the world
● freeing us from confusing our limitations with sin
● inviting us to rest in the joy and relief of knowing that God can use our limitations to foster freedom, joy, growth, and community
Readers will emerge better equipped to cultivate a life that fosters gratitude, rest, and faithful service to God.
