Book Description

January 17, 2006

Time is one of our most precious resources. Each day our calendars are packed with appointments and entertainments. To make ends meet, we cut corners, swapping substance for speed. At the end of the day, our busyness has produced very little fruit, and we are left feeling more frustrated and exhausted than the day before.

The way we spend our time says a lot about what we value. What does your schedule say about the things that are most important to you? Is busyness a buffer to keep you from hearing God?

It is in times of rest that we are able to quiet ourselves and listen for God's voice to teach and lead us in life-giving truth. The purpose of this book is to help you understand more about God and His design for your schedule and your life. His plans for you do not include utter exhaustion and a frazzled spirit. God has peace, rest, and a purpose in mind for you, no matter what your present circumstances may be. Each chapter includes "Time Out" questions for group discussion or personal use.



Editorial Reviews

Review

“This book is a timely reminder of the dangers that flow from a breathless lifestyle. Susie candidly presents insights for those who struggle with illusive time management.” —Jackie Kendall, best-selling author of Lady in Waiting “I count it an honor to endorse Susie Davis’s debut book, The Time of Your Life. Susie tackles a topic that plagues a majority of Christian women, myself included. Her transparent and authentic writing style makes the book a pleasure to read from start to finish!” —Vicki Courtney, founder of Virtuous Reality Ministries, national speaker, and best-selling author of Your Girl and TeenVirtue “Susie Davis offers the most help with the nagging time issues I’ve ever received—by asking us to look not at the hours and minutes, but at ourselves. This book can be a life-changer.” —Nancy Rue, author of the best-selling Lily and Sophie series “If you are feeling overwhelmed and overloaded, then this book is for you! Susie Davis will give you permission to slow down and will inspire you to find the deeper rest that you long for.” —Dr. Sam Adams, coauthor, Out of Control: Finding Peace for the Physically Exhausted and Spiritually Strung Out “This book is a must read for every woman frantically trying to look like grace under fire—more than just another self-help, ‘If I could only get more organized’ approach to managing our lives and the lives of our loved ones. The wisdom born in Susie’s own life, delivered with her ‘let’s get real’ enthusiasm, is the secret key you always knew existed and have been searching for.” —Lisa Ryan, author; speaker; TV personality: InTouch with Charles Stanley, 700 Club --This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Overwhelmed? This is the book for you!, July 14, 2006
By 
This review is from: The Time of Your Life: Finding God's Rest in Your Busy Schedule (Paperback)
She's honest and doesn't pretend to be perfect. She hits some raw nerves with the idea that "Busyness even becomes a badge of honor." This isn't a self help book on organization of time. This book makes you rethink the entire concept of time. Read it. Maybe after you do, you'll have time to read more books!
