Over-Committed Christian, The

"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get a way with me and you'll recover your life... Learn the unforced rhythems of grace."
-Matthew 11:28-29, The Message

Sometimes we become so focused on serving God that we lose sight of who the God we serve is. We become driven far beyond what God has called us to and in danger of burnout. Other addictive tendencies and broken places in us feed into the pattern as well as we begin trying to serve our own needs and insecurities.

Drawing on her years of sounseling experience, Pamela Evans shows us the way out. What we need is a new picture of God. It is as we discover what God truly wants from us that we find good mental and spiritual health. Then we can be freed to experience his grace anew. To help us get there are thoughts and questions for reflection and prayer at the end each chapter.

This book provides an opportunity to reflect on the pace, direction and motivation of our lives and to work with others toward a healthier style of discipleship.
