Often we find ourselves busier than we want to be and buying more than we really need. We long for a more leisurely pace, a life less occupied with material possessions and with more time for our family, friends, and God. This book offers help for all of us who would like to make our lives less complicated but aren't sure how to begin. We are invited to look at our own lives and begin with the things that seem within our reach, knowing that the rewards will be great. As we slow down and create more breathing room for ourselves, we are better able to hear God speaking to us. Barbara DeGrote-Sorensen and David Allen Sorensen provide biblical and spiritual foundation for making changes that reflect God's priorities for our lives.

What connections do teachers make between their work and their faith? The authors interviewed 24 teachers from various parts of the United States and Canada, spanning all levels of learning, from nursery school to the college and university level. These reflections on the spirituality of teaching focus on what their work means to them, how they struggle to reach the hearts and minds of their students, and what motivates them to continue.

Sorensen, David Allen

Learn what you value and manage your time accordingly... 
This is not another book that shows you how to make the best use of your daily planner or how to de-clutter your house. 
Escaping the Family Time Trap teaches families how to better manage their time so that they have more time to connect as a family, to eat dinner together, to live in accord with their Christian values. The authors set out, in a practical style, questions families can use to define their values, by asking “what do we really want as a family?” Then help you determine “what’s stopping us from connecting?” and take steps to bring the time management of their lives in line with these values by asking “how can we create connectedness?” Finally, the authors encourage you to move beyond the family to bring these values out into the world.

Let the Servant Church Arise! explores all aspect of Christian servanthood and how it can have a profound effect on both church and civil communities. Encourages readers to discover purpose and meaning in life through serving others. If the servant church is to arise it will not come as a wordy edict from powers in high places. It will not come through a well-written curriculum, an increased budget or improved infrastructure. The servant church will arise as it always has, fueled by the gracious acts of individual believers who have heard the invitation and been faithful to the call.
