Do More Better – A Book Review

Time management has become a necessary skill in our fast-paced world.  Every day seems to fill up faster than the last.  Yet, underneath the ever-increasing pace of life, the essentials of food preparation, sleep, personal Bible study and prayer, household chores, and personal hygiene have not diminished.  If anything, specific portions of our daily habits, such as prayer and Scripture […]
