When It's Rush Hour All Day Long: Finding Peace in a Hurry-Sick World

Summary: A Plain Guide for Getting in Step with God
Review: My dad he asked me one day about how I was doing. I retorted, "I'm killing myself making a living," and then realized how crazy that sounded. This book calls attention to the craziness of living in our society. Our fast paced efforts to get ahead are really setting us back because the strain of our "instant" lifestyles is disrupting the order of our relationships with ourselves, each other, nature and God. In a plain and easy to understand way, the writer calls attention to examples of the problem and offers straightforward solutions. While reading the book, I found myself recalling the "Habits" of Covey Leadership Training I experienced several years ago. It is a good refresher for continuing one's spiritual pilgrimage. I particularily like the way the writer has drawn on the classics of Christian spirituality. I feel fortunate that I finished the book before Ash Wednesday in that Rev. Tadlock's work offers helpful pointers for making the best of this time of the Christian calendar.

Summary: when its rush hour all day long
Review: Rush Hour is very well written and one of the most useful books I have ever read. In a culture that has sold out to the notion that "anything worth doing is worth doing frantically," the author has written in an entertainingly funny style. The book offers very useful helps on finding ways alleviate the stress of overload and busy-ness. It is a must read.
