Take It to the Limit Study Guide
How to Get the Most Out of Life

By: Andy Stanley

Overloaded? Maxed out? Our culture encourages us to live as if we have no limits. So we fill up our schedules and empty our bank accounts. We do as much as we can, spend as much as we can, and acquire as much as we can—all in an effort to get as much as we can out of life. This six-part DVD shows that the secret to getting more out of life is not by doing more, but by doing less. Its companion study guide is complete with a leader’s guide and six lessons, including conversation-starting exercises, discussion questions, and application steps. You’ll learn to create the margin you need to live the life God intends for you. Take a look at the book

  • Part 1: Less Is More
  • Part 2: Downtime
  • Part 3: Quality vs. Quantity
  • Part 4: Reordering Your Finances
  • Part 5: A Time to Run
  • Part 6: Finding Professional Margin

*This study comes with a DVD and study guide which must be ordered. If you want to use this study contact John Dyas
