- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Kevin DeYoung is such a great writer. He gets to the point and covers both sides of the argument. He humbly shares his own struggles. His ideas for change were helpful and most beneficial was the direction to look at what's going on in our hearts, and to look to Jesus and seek him more. I thought the last line was a great finish: it's crazy and foolish to "live a life with more craziness than we want because we have less Jesus than we need."

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This a short and easy listen for busy Christians. It was exactly what I needed to hear. God will speak to you in ways you understand, and this audio book was one of them.
Give the morning (1st portion of your attention and day) to God. Pray, read the bible, worship, be still to listen for God. He will set all your busy ways to His purpose. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It was practical and introspective.
