Practical Insights And A Strategic Plan For Prioritizing Our Family
STUDY GUIDE INCLUDED - Great For Small Groups!
We all "cheat" every day. Sometimes we cheat in a good way... like when we cheat our taste buds and say no to dessert for the benefit of our waistline.
But all too often, when we apply "cheating" to the arena of our schedule, we tend to cheat our family for the benefit of our careers and hobbies.
One decision after another to work late at the office and cheat family time. Or cheat our children's ball games and activities because of workloads and work deadlines. Or the never-ending business trips out of town.
But without making significant changes, cheating our family has the potential to erode the foundations of even the strongest marriages -- and damage our relationships with our children.
When we come home an hour earlier, miss a round of golf, or let the dishes sit while we play with our child, we make our family feel valued and secure. Bestselling author Andy Stanley helps you restore your vision of what really matters - and guides you in making courageous decisions about your time.
Who are you cheating?
You love your family. You love the challenges of your job. But there’s not enough of you to go around. Somebody isn’t getting as much of your attention as they want or deserve.
This little book presents a strategic plan for resolving the tension between work and home—reversing the destructive pattern of giving to your company and career what belongs to your family.
Story Behind the Book
Andy Stanley has spent hundreds of hours with men and women who have cheated their families for the sake of their career goals. They all admitted knowing there was a problem. This is not a struggle of just some small segment of society. We all wrestle with the tension between work and family. Regardless of which side of the equation you are on, you know what it is like to deal with the endless cycle of guilt, anger, jealousy, and rejection. But there is a solution. Strangely enough, the solution is similar to the problem. Both involve cheating. Simply put, you must choose to cheat at work rather than at home. But how? This book offers practical insights and a strategic plan.
