Work. Family. Church. Hobbies. Fitness.
Housekeeping. Socializing. Sleep. With only 24 hours in each day, we
simply can't fit everything in. And what we choose to cheat is a clear
announcement of our values. When you come home an hour earlier, miss a
round of golf, or let the dishes sit while you play with your child,
you make your 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.
But be forewarned...you will have to cheat.
Story Behind the Book
Andy
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 relegated to some
diminutive 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.
