Synopsis

Why are we all so busy? So frequently exhausted? This common 21st century complaint affects the church no less than everyone else. What, then, has happened to 'the peace of God which passes all understanding'? And how might it be different? The answer to the tyranny of 'busy-ness' is not necessarily to 'do' less but to be aware of God's calling in the busyness. Spiritual life is not an 'add-on', causing more guilt and pressure, but part of everyday life. If each of us is following our God given vocation, says the author, we will find God in the midst of it all. 'The aim of the book is to help men and women (married and single, employed and not employed, clergy and lay) together to engage critically with our culture so as to find God's priorities for every aspect of our lives and find ways of seeking him in the everyday.' The author writes with theological integrity and plenty of humour, not forgetting the need for practical guidelines.

An engaging and exhaustive book --Graham Turner Christian Marketplace
Emma Ineson's book is a book for the girls ... [It] will prove cathartic and thought-provoking reading for any Christian woman. Ruth Ward, Church Times, Friday 7th March 2008.
An engaging and exhaustive book --Sanford Lakoff Christian Marketplace
Ineson writes with a light touch. Scripture, experience and precept are woven together, and her pesonal examples give both flesh and humour to the book. It's an attractively presented book. --Sanford Lakoff
