Book of the Week:

Crazy Busy by Kevin DeYoung

The tagline to this book says it all “a mercifully short book about a really big problem”. It’s a quick, short little book about a very important topic. If you are wanting to get back into reading but feel like you don’t have the time or don’t know where to start, I highly recommend this quick book. Keving DeYoung takes an honest look at what it means to be too busy, some signs of being too busy, and what you can do about it. I highly recommend you start here and then after you start developing a small habit of reading one page a day, move on then to some bigger books.
