Publisher's Description
Work. Family. Church. Exercise. Sleep. The list of demands on your time seems to be never-ending. It can leave you feeling a little guilty--like you should always be doing one more thing. Rather than sharing better time-management tips to squeeze more hours out of the day, Kelly Kapic takes a different approach. In the paperback edition of You're Only Human, he offers a better way to make peace with the fact that God didn't create us to do it all by● exploring the theology behind seeing our human limitations as a gift rather than a deficiency;● laying out a path to holistic living with life-giving relationships and meaningful contributions to the world;● freeing us from confusing our limitations with sin; and● inviting us to rest in the joy and relief of knowing that God can use our limitations to foster freedom, joy, growth, and community. Readers will emerge better equipped to cultivate a life that fosters gratitude, rest, and faithful service to God.

“With characteristic wisdom rooted deeply in Scripture and experience, Kelly Kapic addresses a vital yet neglected topic. As this book helped me to see the manifold ways in which we live in denial about the goodness of limits, I made fresh commitments to seek new, healthier habits. I cannot value and recommend a book more highly than that.”
“Kapic once again shares from his own personal journey and at times confronts his own questions in order to reveal the beauty of God’s intended rhythm for life in a world that is driven by deadlines, goals, and extremes. He asks hard and searching questions in order to reveal the beauty of God’s created order and Christ’s peace that passes all understanding.”
Bishop. Julian M. Dobbs
“No hastily prepared, cheap-fix antidote, You’re Only Human is the product of years of reflection and concern, the work of a mature Christian theologian and a fine teacher. It belongs among the books Francis Bacon famously said should ‘be chewed and digested; . . . read wholly, and with diligence and attention.’ It is a love gift to the church.”
