Simplify –Book Review
If you feel weighed down by the cares and duties of life – if life feels like one big never-ending to do list – if feeling overscheduled, exhausted and overwhelmed is a way of life for you – stop and take a long, deep breath.
Help is on the way!
Best-selling author and pastor Bill Hybels has the solutions to your most pressing needs, and he shares his life-changing advice in Simplify – Ten Practices To Unclutter Your Soul.
Simplify is an extremely practical book that helps you apply biblical principles to your life.
In Simplify, Bill walks you through a series of action steps in the following areas of your life:
- From Exhausted To Energized – Replenishing Your Energy Reserves
- From Overscheduled To Organized – Harnessing Your Calendar’s Power
- Fromm Overwhelmed To In Control – Mastering Your Finances

- From Stuck To Moving On – Welcoming New Seasons In Your Life
- From Meaningless To Satisfied – The Legacy Of A Simplified Life
Bill also provides guidance in helping you to choose a Bible verse for your life – or for the season of life you are currently in.
Simplify is a book you can read from beginning to end, or work through based on your most pressing need.
I really enjoyed this book and found that Bill’s counsel really resonated with me.
I’m also finding this book particularly timely as we move through the busy holiday season and transition into the New Year.
I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.
