Review

RX: FROM THE DESK OF RICHARD A. SWENSON, M.D. Overload is not having time to finish the book you are reading on stress. Margin is having time to read it twice. Overload is fatigue. Margin is energy.

SUMMARY - Margin: Restoring Emotional, Physical, Financial, And Time Reserves To Overloaded Lives By Richard Swenson

* Our summary is short, simple and pragmatic. It allows you to have the essential ideas of a big book in less than 30 minutes. By reading this summary, you will learn how to redefine the limits of each sphere of your life, in order to keep the stress caused by modern life away from the rest of your existence. You will also learn : how technological progress has destroyed man's emotional defenses and made him vulnerable; what is the mechanics of stress and why it leads to psychological breakdown and burn-out; how to analyze your negative emotions in order to redirect them and transform them into positive and creative energy; how to establish the four vital conditions for a fulfilled existence, being in control of one's destiny. The twentieth century is an unprecedented turning point in the race for progress; this era sees a definitive transformation of the rhythms of life, human psychology and all the paradigms of previous eras. From then on, material comfort and easy access to all desires and fantasies developed. However, this abundance comes at a price and gradually nibbles away at our emotional defenses; it makes us vulnerable to the ever-increasing demands and pressures of modern life. Healing is possible, but it requires walking a path that many are not ready to embark on. This book explains the root causes of the problem for those who wish to take a step in this direction. *Buy now the summary of this book for the modest price of a cup of coffee!

Next Door as It Is in Heaven

#ADSHERE#

There was a time when neighbors knew each other’s names, when small children and the old and infirm alike had more than their families looking out for them. There was a time when our neighborhoods were our closest communities. No more. Neighborhoods have become the place where nobody knows your name. Into this neighborhood crisis the words of Jesus still ring true: Second only to the command to love God is the command to “love your neighbor as yourself.” In Next Door as It Is in Heaven, Lance Ford and Brad Brisco offer first principles and best practices to make our neighborhoods into places where compassion and care are once again part of the culture, where good news is once again more than words, and where the love of God can be once again rooted and established.

A Practical Guide for Life and Ministry

#ADSHERE#

Many books focus on how to grow a church and "succeed" as a pastor, but few help clergy cope with the daily pressures they face in juggling the demands of ministry, family, and personal ambitions. David Horner overturns the notion that pastors must accept disobedience in some aspects of life to thrive in others. Examining his thirty years of pastoral ministry, Horner mines seven key challenges that pastors must face well in order to restore and maintain a healthy balance. Church leaders and those who love them will find this book a practical and biblical guide that reinvigorates their calling.

Rest

"Come to Me all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." Bringing a distinctly Christian perspective to the subject of finding true rest in the midst of daily pressures, Siang-Yang Tan diagnoses what ails us and provides thoroughly practical steps to help us respond to Jesus' invitation. "In this book, Siang-Yang Tan draws from a richness of experience to write with warmth and compassion. Since he himself knows the difficulty of slowing down in these hyperactive times, he is able to give practical guidelines to others, drawn from a wealth of information found in the Scriptures, empirical research, and psychological reports. . . . If rest is not easy for you to put into practice, learn from an author who is growing at a healthy pace and willing to bring others along on the journey." -from the Foreword, by Dr. Gary R. Collins SIANG-YANG TAN is professor of psychology at Fuller Theological Seminary. He also serves as Senior Pastor of First Evangelical Church in Glendale, California. He has authored or co-authored eight previous books, including Disciplines of the Holy Spirit and Understanding Depression. He is an associate editor of The Journal of Psychology and Christianity.
