About this ebook

Winner of the 2014 Christian Book of the Year Award

"I'M TOO BUSY!" We've all heard it. We've all said it. All too often, busyness gets the best of us.

Just one look at our jam-packed schedules tells us how hard it can be to strike a well-reasoned balance between doing nothing and doing it all.

That's why award-winning author and pastor Kevin DeYoung addresses the busyness problem head on in his newest book, Crazy Busy — and not with the typical arsenal of time management tips, but rather with the biblical tools we need to get to the source of the issue and pull the problem out by the roots.

Highly practical and super short, Crazy Busy will help you put an end to "busyness as usual."

Ratings and reviews

It is a practical book with some good insight, but lacks anything profound that makes it worth the few hours you'll spend reading it, as opposed to other books you could choose which could really change your way of thinking.

Pastor Kevin presents Biblical truth and practical application on the RIGHT use of time. I found it so freeing to realize that God's call on my life can't be to do 1,000 things poorly but to do several things well.

Great short book for those who have realised that their schedules are insanely busy and that something doesnt feel right. I will recommend this to my friends!
