Synopsis

So many women are living overcommitted lives and buckling under the nagging guilt. When they are busy, they feel guilty for not playing with their kids or having a quiet time of prayer and Bible study. When they try to rest, they feel guilty because there's so much left to do. It's an endless cycle of overwork and exhaustion. Yet inside every woman's heart is a longing for true rest. It's there because God designed us that way--but it seems out of reach. Enough is enough. Our lives probably aren't going to get less busy, especially if we're in a demanding season of life, but we can do busy better. In this burden-lifting book, Glynnis Whitwer helps women examine their hearts and their schedules in order to seek a healthy and holy balance between--and enjoyment of--both work and rest. She shows readers how to prioritize their goals and their time, how to be present in the moment as Jesus was, and how to find the freedom of true soul rest. Most importantly, she shows women that their worth is found not in their accomplishments but in the love of the One who made them for work and for rest.

Goodreads review by Kim

I loved reading an advanced copy of Doing Busy Better. As someone who likes to be busy with work, I really wanted to identify what drives me to be overbusy, and why I feel guilty when I take time off from work, or simply take time to rest. Two of my favorite quotes are: “When your identity is grounde......more

there were probably three chapters that I would say were five stars, but the rest of the book I felt like was slightly repetitive. I did still learn a lot and appreciate the authors heart.......more

Goodreads review by Kelly

Having read Glynnis Whitwer’s Taming The To Do List, I was curious how this book would be a fresh take on that. In fact, this book is far deeper than that. In essence, it focuses on the balance we strive to strike between work and rest and how that affects our perception of our self-worth. Her inter......more
