Ready to review your schedule?
In a world where we are surrounded by demands of all kinds, but where the duration of time is not extendable, it is legitimate to wonder what place our leisure activities can take in our daily life. Especially if we want to live under the gaze of God.
This is a serious question that David Brown has explored with great creativity, making it a fascinating and inspiring subject. In this book he deals with the occupation of our time, the purpose of our lives, leisure and pleasure, our choices, and our involvement in the church and in society.
There is no need to harbor unfounded guilt about our interests, but let us realize that time has its limits and that our priorities shape it.
David Brown was general secretary of the GBU for several years. He is currently pastor of an evangelical Protestant Church in Paris in the 17th arrondissement, and responsible for the Evangelization Commission of the CNEF (National Council of Evangelicals of France). He loves travel, football, cinema, art and literature, and he is passionate about thinking about the interface between the Bible and French culture.
