Product Description

Do you say 'yes' to requests when really you mean to say 'no'- Do you feel permanently trapped by your 24/7 lifestyle-
While offering practical help to busy Christians, Tim Chester also opts for root-and-branch treatment: you need to deal radically with the things that are driving you.

If you're busy because of the following:

'I need to prove myself'
* 'Otherwise things get out of control'
* 'I like the pressure/money'
think again!
At the root of our 'slavery' are serious misunderstandings, often reinforced by our culture. If we want to be free, then we need to counteract them with God's word. It's important to manage our time, but it's more important to manage our hearts.

God has promised his rest to all who are weary and burdened (Matthew 11:28). It's up to us to accept it

'... gets to the heart of why we are too busy, and unmasks the deceptions that drive our behaviours.'

From the Publisher
If God is offering us his liberating rest and peace, then why do we insist on a treadmill existence? 24/7 living comes at a cost. Often the answer is to examine our hearts and see what is really driving us. This book will stir and challenge you.

From the Author
This book won’t give you an extra hour in your day or an extra day in your week. But it will help you think through why you feel so busy and what you might do about it. It will show how faith in God can make a real difference to the way we live in a highpressure world. When people talk about their busyness it can be like watching someone’s home movie. You get a version of their life, but they’re never in the picture. The reality is that our behaviour is driven by our beliefs. If you’re serious about tackling your busy behaviour you’ll have to put your own heart in the picture. You’ll have to face up to the deceptions you live by and make choices to replace them with the truth.
