<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Practical advice, biblical wisdom, and simple tools help women realize there's no shame in being busy--but there's a better way to do it.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>So many women are living overcommitted lives and buckling under the nagging guilt. When they are busy, they feel guilty for not playing with their kids or having a quiet time of prayer and Bible study. When they try to rest, they feel guilty because there's so much left to do. It's an endless cycle of overwork and exhaustion. Yet inside every woman's heart is a longing for true rest. It's there because God designed us that way--but it seems out of reach.<br/><br/>Enough is enough. Our lives probably aren't going to get less busy, especially if we're in a demanding season of life, but we <i>can</i> do busy better. In this burden-lifting book, Glynnis Whitwer helps women examine their hearts and their schedules in order to seek a healthy and holy balance between--and enjoyment of--both work and rest. She shows readers how to prioritize their goals and their time, how to be present in the moment as Jesus was, and how to find the freedom of true soul rest. Most importantly, she shows women that their worth is found not in their accomplishments but in the love of the One who made them for work <i>and </i>for rest.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>"I know what it means to have Jesus set me free from stress and striving.

Her words are a lifeline for the worn-out and weary."<i>--</i><b>Holley Gerth</b>, <i>Wall Street Journal</i> bestselling author of <i>You're Already Amazing</i><br/><br/><br/>Does this sound familiar? When you're busy, you feel guilty you aren't spending time with family or God. Then, when you try to rest, you feel guilty because there's so much left to do. It's an endless cycle of overwork and exhaustion.<br/><br/>Enough is enough! In this burden-lifting book, Glynnis Whitwer helps you examine your heart and your schedule in order to seek a healthy, holy, and enjoyable balance between work and rest.

But there's also a bad kind of busy that throws you into overdrive and unravels your purpose. <i>Doing Busy Better</i> will help you tell the difference between the two, liberating your schedule and your soul."<i>--</i><b>Arlene Pellicane</b>, speaker and author of <i>31 Days to Becoming a Happy Mom </i><br/><br/>"Is there a better way to do busy?
