Reclaim your life from the tyranny of your schedule

Whether we're trying to find time, save it, manage it, or make the most of it, one word defines our relationship with the clock: anxiety. Is productivity really the only grid for the good life? Have you ever imagined a life without hurry, relentless work, multitasking, or scarcity? A life that is characterized instead by presence, attention, rest, rootedness, fruitfulness, and generosity?

This is the kind of life we are meant for, says Jen Pollock Michel. But if we want to experience freedom from time anxiety, we have to reimagine our relationship with time itself.

In the pages of In Good Time, she invites you to disentangle your priorities from our modern assumptions and instead ground them in God's time. Then she shows you how to establish eight life-giving habits that will release you from the false religion of productivity so you can develop a grounded, healthy relationship with the clock.


"If you feel overwhelmed by your pace of life or your schedule feels like a bucking bronco, you will find more than simple, helpful steps in these pages, though they are many! You will also discover tender, theological riches."--Sharon Hodde Miller, author of The Cost of Control

"Jen Pollock Michel's wise and gentle reflections on learning new habits of being and receiving the lives we have been given are a balm for every soul."--Amy Julia Becker, award-winning author of To Be Made Well and White Picket Fences
