Discipleship

1. Where Is Your Time Flying?
Our greatest danger is letting the urgent things crowd out the important ones.

2. Jesus & Time
Jesus completed what the Father wanted him to do--and wasn't frazzled in the process.

3. Managing Your Life
A refreshing new perspective can help us with our harried schedules.

4. Is This Trip Necessary?
The crucial question is not short-term efficiency but long-term effectiveness.

5. How Is Your Time Being Used?
There's a difference between "quality time" spent with people and "quantity time" spent on things.

6. Clock & Calendar: Friends or Enemies?
They can enslave us--or serve us. Like fire, the clock and calendar make good servants but bad masters.

7. The Art of Saying No
You are indispensable only until the moment you say no.

8. Time Out!
Take a moment to stop, look and listen.

9. Following the Lord
Following Jesus involves committing all I know of myself to all I know of him.

10. No Time Like the Present
The present must become more than just a bridge linking the past and the future.

Epilogue: The Tapestry

The great answer to prayer is the power to pray more.

Appendix 3: At Your Leisure
Leisure offers us a chance to make a life, not just a living.
