This book is meant to be read by every woman in this world. What an eyeopener it is and what great peace it brings to a woman. Planning on using it for a women's study in the spring.

We have been using this book for several weeks in our women's Sunday School class. We have seven more chapters to go. We have a lot of discussion which facilitates much group support. The practical applications and study materials are outstanding.

I am not finished reading this book. But it is awesome. Just what I needed. All women should purchase this book. It relates to the issues women go through. This book is so in tune to my situation. Be blessed in the Lord.

This book was so encouraging and really transformed my life! If you feel busy, tired, worn out, or just plain succored into things you don't want to do, take this book! Read it with a friend for mutual encouragement. I chose it for a women's Bible study with a friend who is now one of my best friends... I couldn't say enough good about this book!

Dr. Steve Stephens and I have had a tremendous response to this book. At one of the seminars where we spoke, one lady came up with dozens of red, yellow, and green tabs poking out from the pages. She explained, "The red tabs mean I need to take action on these ideas right away. The yellows will be next and the green I can get to more leisurely." Thelma Wells, National Speaker for Women of Faith, writes, "Years of research, counseling, and success are jam-packed in this practical, powerful book." Bestselling author Liz Curtis Higgs wrote, "Just reading it gave me a sense of peace and the gentle assurance that I CAN make some positive, healthy changes in my too-busy lifestyle." Elisa Morgan, President of MOPS International writes, "Ahh...at last--a pathway out of the insanity!"
If you are interested in working through the book with a friend or in a group, there is guide in the back of the book. There are fun ideas to try at the end of each chapter. Because we know women are busy (why else would they be feeling worn out?), we've kept the chapters short and practical.
There's three kinds of clutter in your life...schedule clutter, space clutter, and soul clutter. The book covers them all. (There's even a chapter on how to get a better night's sleep). Dr. Steve and I have found, a woman cannot unclutter her life until she unclutters her heart.
