The Hurried Family DVD: Help For The Hurried Home - Tim Kimmel

Life is moving at a blurring speed. If people don’t have a specific plan to manage the pace of their lives, then the hurried lifestyle will manage them. Our fast-paced American society promotes a constant drive for success, but often at the expense of our inner peace and contentment: "The increase of information, transportation and contamination have cost us dearly," says Dr. Tim Kimmel. "Our sense of permanence, unity and peace are jeopardized by hurried lifestyles." Based on his best selling book, Little House on the Freeway, Dr. Kimmel brings help to the hurried home by sharing positive ways to overcome one's hectic lifestyle. In eight sessions with practical applications, The Hurried Family video study explores the symptoms of a hurried family and provides counsel for restoring calmness and giving the gift of rest to others.
