As a busy mom, Overbooked and Overwhelmed spoke directly to my heart. I was drawn to the book because I often feel like I’m running on empty—pulled in so many directions that my time with God gets pushed aside, even though I know it shouldn’t.

What stood out to me the most was how honest and real Tara Sun is throughout the book. She captures the exact feelings I face daily and gently reminds readers that we’re not alone. Her words helped me realize that even in the chaos, God is always there, patiently waiting and offering grace.

If you’re feeling stretched thin and spiritually disconnected, this book is a much-needed reminder that we don’t have to stay overwhelmed—there’s a better, more intentional way forward.

Tara Sun’s Overbooked and Overwhelmed is the gentle wake-up call I didn’t know I needed. With grace, honesty, and a dose of humor, she tackles the tension so many of us feel—trying to keep up with life while barely keeping up with ourselves, let alone God.

This book doesn’t shame or pressure. Instead, Tara invites us into a deeper trust and a more grounded rhythm, reminding us that it’s not about doing more but about aligning with the One who gives true rest. Her stories are relatable, her insights are biblical, and her encouragement is refreshingly practical.

Whether you’re knee-deep in ministry, motherhood, work, or just plain worn out—this book will help you reset your heart and realign your priorities with God’s peace and purpose.

Highly recommend for any woman who feels like she’s running on empty and needs to remember that God never asked us to hustle for His love.

Limitations are liberating! This book is a perfect fit for busy moms and overscheduled families who want to live to the fullest without becoming overwhelmed. I've read many books on tge intersection of slow living and faith before, including some that were quoted in this book, so it didn't offer anything new to me as a reader. However, it would be a great beginner guide for those who want to slow down but aren't sure how.

Thank you for the opportunity to read this book. I enjoyed this book. It was a quick read and did not lack substance. Tara broke down simple things we may miss as we hurry through life and redirected us to how to better connect life to God. She gives great examples that are applicable to life and ties everything back to scripture.
