When Work And Family Collide by Andy Stanley


            It is hard at times  to manage your priorities. You are aware you have to but somehow there just isn’t enough time.
            Priorities are what Rev. Stanley addresses in this small book on  setting the proper restraints on time obligations. In this little 131 Stanley gently nudges the reader to properly get things done in an orderly manner. To do so there are certain things a person must do or not do. I feel Stanley did a good job of detailing them.
            With a pastors heart Stanley guides the individual reader to consider demands and the reasons he has for doing things. The book even has a discussion guide at the end to be used in small groups or in self examination. It is laid out in  a four week plan.
            He is a story teller and in a non-threatening manner je leads you to make these teachings your own. He seems like a friend who is walking beside you and firmly guiding you.
            I found him and his book to be instructive. It got me to examining my own use of time. Priorities are the main theme of this book.
            The proper view of what Stanley calls cheating to gain time to do what one should do is presented in an easy to digest manner.
            I received this book for free from WaterBrookMultinomah Publishing group for this review. All opinions are the reviews alone and do not reflect those of the publisher. I was not required to give a positive review.
