From the Back Cover
Help and encouragement for overwhelmed women who desire to know what God created them to do—and how to accomplish it

How many women are tired of trying to be all things to all people? How often do they feel overwhelmed by busyness, guilt, and stress? In this newly updated edition of Women Who Do Too Much, Patricia Sprinkle shows the woman who does too much how to do less but do it more passionately.

First she tackles the larger issues of goals and commitments, helping women determine what God created them to do and helping them focus on doing just that. Then she gives helpful tips on how to handle the demands of everyday life.

This updated edition—which is also available on abridged audiocassette—goes deeper into the biblical foundations for managing time and gifts for God’s purposes. There are simpler, faster-to-do exercises at the end of each section, not each chapter.

With a warm mixture of practicality and humor, Sprinkle creatively offers hope for all women who need to capture, conquer, and control the ever-running hours on the clock. By the end of the book, time is seen not as a ferocious animal, but as a friend—a precious gift from God.

Finally a book encouraging women to do less rather than more
At a time when there is a glut of books telling women how to squeeze more and more into each day, Patricia Sprinkle tells us how to say the "N" word--NO! I love it. As wives, mothers, employees, Christians, daughters, sisters, friends, we are constantly being given MORE to do. Ms. Sprinkle shows us the way to sift the wheat from the chaff and do the things that matter most...to ourselves as well as to others. I'm a big fan of Sprinkle's terrific mysteries, but this book will stay with me a lot longer.

A serious subject written in a fun and insightful style it is a practical guide based on Biblical principles. A recommended read for anyone feeling the frustration of too many things to do and too little time to do them.
