Little House on the Freeway
I picked up this book looking for help on accomplishing more in my busy life.

There was a lot of spiritual guidace in this book, helping me realign my choices so that I was drawn back to God, even in the insanity of that season of my life. I hope you find as much blessing in this book as I did.
