Bruce Miller, founder and senior pastor of McKinney Christian Fellowship in McKinney, Texas, tackles stressful living in a new way with
Your Life in Rhythm (Tyndale House Publishers). Miller offers a new way of living—coordinating a person's life strategies to coincide with different points in life—and rejects the typical idea and constraints of balance.
"The concept of balance has never made sense to me," Miller says. "Maybe, in some way, I've rebelled against it, that I should live a balanced life. In my own church and among people that I'm with, I hear over and over again how stressed people are and how they can't balance everything."
Surveying the lives of various biblical figures, Miller believes the concept of balance is not only unrealistic but also unbiblical.
