About walking in the way of Jesus; that is with purpose, to deal with the important and not the urgent only.

It is easy to read and conversational in style.

It could have been half the length. The author does labor his points at times.

Who would benefit most from reading this book?

People who live with very little margin and need this area of their lives "bent back into shape".

Do you recommend this book?

Yes, but there are some things you should know...

If someone reads this book, they should be aware of the following...

I did not enjoy the first quarter of the book in that the author felt careless at times with the analogies and examples he used. They drew widely from secular sources and examples to make their point. It does hone on scripture for the latter three quarters and the initial part of the book could have been used as a drawing card for the unsaved.
