Everywhere we turn there are choices to be made. Obligations that pressure us. Opportunities that entice us. Many times, we are overwhelmed by feelings of guilt because we cannot respond to all our options. That's why it's important to get our priorities straight: so we can have an adequate grid through which we can screen the incessant demands on our time and lower the level of stress in our lives.
Like many people, you may set your priorities by making a mental list: God first; family second; church third. But, according to Dr. J. Grant Howard, " 'Lists' of priorities don't make sense. They can't be lived out."
A New Approach...
Balancing Life's Demands challenges the traditional, sequential approach to priorities and offers a drastically different, intensely practical solution for those who want to make decisions biblically and responsibly.
No matter what the pressures you face, you'll find a life-changing perspective on priorities that will transform your criteria for making choices and strengthen the way you relate to others in Balancing Life's Demands.
