Overbooked and Overwhelmed: How to Keep Up with God When You’re Just Trying to Keep Up with Life

Read by the author.

Discover how to intentionally keep Jesus first amid your over-busy, over-notified, and overwhelmed life.

“A refreshing, heartfelt, and practical guide to finding peace in the chaos of everyday life. Don't miss this one!” —Lysa TerKeurst, #1 New York Times bestselling author and president of Proverbs 31 Ministries

Ever have those days where every battery in your life is running low? Every ping you hear is from someone who needs you. Every item you cross off your list has three more to take its place. Let's face it: Sometimes those days are every day. And the result? God ends up getting the leftovers. It's not that you don't value time with Him, deeper rest, or growing your faith. You just don't know where you can find the energy to make those things more than an afterthought when so much is constantly vying for your attention. How can we stop the busyness long enough to pursue what we know we need the most?

In Overbooked and Overwhelmed, author and podcaster Tara Sun gives you the ideas and inspiration you need to be fully present with God, but are over-busy, over-notified, and overwhelmed. Tara will help you explore how to:

• Adjust your speed to walk at Jesus' pace instead of trying to keep up with the world's hustle • Understand why true peace starts not with ordering your schedule but your heart • Develop spiritual resilience for the times they feel stuck in their faith • Trade habitual busyness for intentional rhythms of rest, even in seasons when life does not slow down.

For all who feel behind before the day even starts, Overbooked and Overwhelmed helps you put distractions in their place, center your life around Jesus, and prioritize His presence—no matter how crazy-busy life is.
