    About this audiobook

    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.

      A must read for Christian women facing burnout, stress, overwhelm or depression
    • 5/5
      Great book for the weary and for those who’d like to be prepared for weary days. The Murrays were biblical as well as practical in their writing. The audio book is well narrated as well.
    • 5/5
      Lives up to the title- highly recommended for just about everyone!
