Have
you ever wished for a thirty-hour day? Does your list of unfinished
tasks--unanswered letters, unvisited friends, unread books--grow larger and
larger each week? If so, you desperately need relief. Six studies drawn from
Charles Hummel's Tyranny of the Urgent will help you put your life back in order
by focusing on God's "to do" list instead of your own.
