LONGWOOD, Fl., May 14 /Christian Newswire/ -- Millions of dollars are spent on time management systems and life coaching because modern life has become overly complex. The problem is, according to a new release from Xulon author Joe Gartrell, these programs are a waste of time and money. Life Is Simple: Eliminate Complexity from Your Life and Reclaim Stolen Time($13.99, paperback, 978-160477-794-9), instructs readers to eliminate complexities rather than just trying to "manage" them.

Says the author, "Though the book is Christian in its perspective, its message is universally applicable. Everybody will agree that the modern world inclines us toward complexity, but in the same breath, everybody seeks a simpler life."

Inspired by lessons Gartrell learned in the real world, rather than on esoteric academic theories and postulations, Life Is Simple is steeped in experience. A self-described rebel who is "unapologetically Christian," the author is not one to be controlled by conventional wisdom. "What I have to say will generally not sit well with those stuck to the status quo," he says. "The lessons of Life is Simple are battle tested and proven to work."
