No need to sacrifice your family

Andy Stanley is an awesome speaker. His skills have certainly translated into his writing. Through this book, he uses his skills to help us see how God wants us to follow His word in our life at home and at work. There are many real life examples and situations which we all can relate to in one form or another.

If you are struggling to find more time at home, if you'd like to know how to cut back at work and feel okay about it, pick up this book!

The recording and editing was well produced and the narrator did an excellent job reading and emphasizing points Andy would've made himself.

Wish I would’ve read this sooner

Excellent book regarding dedicating your life to both your family and career. Andy makes no guarantees, but he gives real life examples of those who have been successful and those who have not. He lists out strategies to get what you want and recommends you to try it out for thirty days. I found this book helpful in applying it to my own life and goals. I’ll likely read it again.

Solid life guidance for working parents

I’ve tried to live by the principles of this book for maybe 8 years now. I came back to listen to this book on Audible to be reminded of what workplace choices about my time would be most honoring to God and my family. Still much gold to mine from these chapters. 5 stars.

The narrator did misspeak two words, but he still deserves 5 stars.
