Crazy Busy: A (Mercifully) Short Book about a (Really) Big Problem by Kevin DeYoung

3.0

---

This was a good quick read, full of good reminders and red flags about our crazy busy, hectic lifestyles. I found only about 1/2 of it to be truly challenging and eye opening, however. I feel like the first few chapters plowed through far too much information in too short a page count. I wasn't impressed. But then the chapters on the dangers of technology, the importance of rhythm and rest, and finally using Jesus as a portrait for what our busyness should look like were great. It was worth the read just for those chapters. Perhaps DeYoung didn't say anything new, but he did say it well and we can all use these thoughts and reminders more regularly. I recommend if you need a quick jolt of "reality" when it comes to changing your busyness!
