Customer Reviews

Busy Active Woman

The book comes with very good practical and insightful advice and tips for the busy woman. It incorporates the practical with the spiritural realm which helps to put things into proper perspective. I highly recommend this book for the woman who does too much.

Finally a book encouraging women to do less rather than more

At a time when there is a glut of books telling women how to squeeze more and more into each day, Patricia Sprinkle tells us how to say the "N" word--NO! I love it. As wives, mothers, employees, Christians, daughters, sisters, friends, we are constantly being given MORE to do. Ms. Sprinkle shows us the way to sift the wheat from the chaff and do the things that matter most...to ourselves as well as to others. I'm a big fan of Sprinkle's terrific mysteries, but this book will stay with me a lot longer.
