Focus on the Family Magazine
"Many good books analyze the garden variety problems almost all of us face at some time in our marriages--poor communication, the need for financial planning, handling disagreements. But Tim Kimmel's book is the first I've seen that points us to one of the major underlying causes of fractured homes and unsatisfying marriages-our natural bent toward busyness.
"In the short run, there's nothing wrong with being busy. All of us enjoy days filled with life and activity. But for many of us, our everyday schedules have become so crowded that activity has become a substitute for intimacy. What I found in the book "Little House on the Freeway" is an answer to the restless pace and hurried lifestyles that so characterize our out-of-breath society."
- Gary Smalley
