Life can be overwhelming. Sometimes it feels as if everything and everyone demands all of our time, our resources, our energy, and our very lives. Writing to women in the midst of this busy, do-it-all culture, husband-and-wife team Shona and David Murray offer practical tips for living at a more sustainable pace and avoiding exhaustion, depression, and anxiety. Sharing personal stories of their own struggles with overwhelming demands, they give counsel on everything from sleep to social media, relationships to recreation, and exercise to eating. This book encourages women to cultivate a healthy approach to life motivated and moderated by Christ's transforming grace. No library descriptions found. |

The author is a medical doctor and has knowledge in counseling, yet this is one of the most practical, easy to read books on this topic. Her knowledge is evident. She discusses burnout, depression, health, medications and spirituality. She talks about how everything is interconnected and one area of life can impact another. The author addresses a topic that is often taboo in Christian circles in a gracious and knowledgeable way.
While the author writes from the experience of being married with children, I think that the tools and truths given in this book are useful for any age. I could have used this book as a single college student.
I received a free digital copy of this book from Crossway and Netgalley in exchange for my honest review. BUT I will be buying myself a physical copy of this book to keep on hand. ( )
