Work. Family. Church. Exercise. Sleep.The list of demands on your time seems to be never-ending. It can leave you feeling a little guilty--like you should always be doing one more thing.Rather than sharing better time-management tips to squeeze more hours out of the day, Kelly Kapic takes a different approach. In the paperback edition of You're Only Human, he offers a better way to make peace with the fact that God didn't create us to do it all by● exploring the theology behind seeing our human limitations as a gift rather than a deficiency;● laying out a path to holistic living with life-giving relationships and meaningful contributions to the world;● freeing us from confusing our limitations with sin; and● inviting us to rest in the joy and relief of knowing that God can use our limitations to foster freedom, joy, growth, and community.Readers will emerge better equipped to cultivate a life that fosters gratitude, rest, and faithful service to God.
