Kill the Busy Save the Bee

What It Really Means to Be Still and Know

De: Yvonne Marie

Narrado por: Yvonne Marie

Are you a busy bee? Busyness is anything that is keeping you from the peace of God. It could be your overscheduled to-do list, but it could also be your anxious thoughts or your constant stream of social media. Busyness can be a mental, emotional, or physical state of being, and many of us are severely caught up in it.

Yvonne Marie, MEd, is an author, artist, poet, and teacher. She has spent most of her adult life serving in Christian ministries such as worship, discipleship, leadership, and women’s ministries. With a master’s degree in education from Goucher College as well as over two decades of teaching and ministry experience, she has developed the ability to effectively communicate biblical truths into practical life applications. She also works as an associate professor teaching freshmen college students the joy of composing a valid, worthy, and credible argument. Yvonne Marie is married to a very handsome and highly skilled photographer and they have two remarkable sons.

In Kill the Busy Save the Bee, Yvonne Marie encourages her listeners to discover the value of solitude, the importance of surrendering, and the significant transformation that can take place when an intentional effort is made to personally know Jesus. Starting with Psalm 46:10, “Be still and know that I am God”, she uses biblical references, anecdotes, personal stories, and her quirky knowledge of bees to describe the benefits of walking away from the busyness in order to strengthen and cultivate a much more meaningful walk with Christ.

This book challenged me to draw closer to God

Before I even talk about the content of the book, let me comment on the narrators voice. It was so rich in character and very theatrical in a positive way. She brought the message to life. Couldn’t stop listening.

The message of the book is clear and simple. The author used various analogies i.e, the bee, marriage and others to demonstrate the importance of spending time with God. I myself can identify with the busy bee analogy. I’m thankful for the practical solutions this book provides to help “kill the busy” and draw
Closer to God. I’m encouraged to know that I’m not the only one who struggles with busyness. I now know how to overcome it. Thanks to this book! I will highly recommend this book! Great read!

Her wonderful use of scripture along with the analogy with bees is not only unique but inspiring. Unlike anything I've read before! I would especially recommend this book to anyone who has been impacted by the work environment. This book gives calm and builds your relationship with God through methodical practices that returns you to your true purpose.
