The Common Rule: Habits of Purpose for an Age of Distraction
by Justin Whitmel Earley
This book encourages you to live life intentionally. By
developing four daily and four weekly habits, you can build consistency that leads
to a more satisfying lifestyle. And not only does Earley explain this program
of habits, but he offers variations to fit all walks of life and lifestyles.
I enjoyed the author’s illustrations from his own life. A
former missionary to China, he is now a mergers and acquisitions lawyer.
Married with four sons, he knows the stresses and distractions of life in the
21st century: the busyness, the pressures, the technology, to
mention just a few.
The book includes very helpful end-of-chapter detailed
summations of Earley’s suggestions. It also includes charts of various
strategies to help you develop the habits as individuals or even as a
congregation.
Published by IVP Books, Earley reminds us what is important
to live a balanced life. While I am familiar with and practice some of the
habits, I found the book extremely interesting and quite practical. This
is another book I highly recommend.
