Time Warped: First Century Time Stewardship for 21st Century Living
This study book is on time--but not time management. You don't need another organizational tool or trick. What you'll study in these pages is our society's inclination toward busyness--and what that means to the Christian seeking God and wholeness. But, because of the holistic nature of stewardship, don't be surprised when we also talk about your health, money, talents, and relationships--specifically as they relate to time. We'll give you practical ways to implement the suggestions we make here--not just open-ended theories! Each chapter ends with discussion questions you can answer as a group, or individually, that will help you identify areas where you may need to do some repair work.
