Synopsis

Work. Family. Church. Exercise. Sleep.

The list of demands on our 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 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.

Kapic explores the theology behind seeing our human limitations as a gift rather than a deficiency. He lays out a path to holistic living with healthy self-understanding, life-giving relationships, and meaningful contributions to the world. He frees us from confusing our limitations with sin and instead invites us to rest in the joy and relief of knowing that God can use our limitations to foster freedom, joy, growth, and community.

Listeners will emerge better equipped to cultivate a life that fosters gratitude, rest, and faithful service to God.

This is a lovely book. Kapic invites us to consider our human limitations not as liabilities, but as something to embrace because they help us to depend upon God. It's the type of book that works to read bit by bit over a long period of time so that you can savor his insights.......more

Goodreads review by Parker on January 22, 2023

4.4 This topic must be discussed more in the church today. How often do we sign up for more than we can do, sleep less than we need, compare our gifts to others only to wear ourselves out and be become discouraged and feel as if we are in some sort of sin now. We must see our finite bodies as good a......more

Goodreads review by Trish on November 15, 2023

Such a liberating read and probably one of my favourite Christian books I’ve read this year. This book helped me to see my finiteness as a gift from God, and one of the ways to keep remembering that our human limitations is a gift from God is to keep embracing faithful interdependence. And of course......more
