Take It to the Limit, Andy Stanley
A six-part message series for those whose schedules are too full and whose checking accounts are too empty! Our culture encourages us to live as if we have no limits. So we fill up our schedules and empty our bank accounts. Life without margin is a recipe for personal disaster. Margin is the space between your current performance and your limits. When you reach the limit of your resources, strength, capacity or self-control, you have no margin. And without margin, you have no room for error. Together, we will explore God's answer to our self-destructive propensity to live as if we have no limits.

Everything is Spiritual, Rob Bell
