Ploductivity

A Practical Theology of Work and Wealth

De: Douglas Wilson

Narrado por: David Webb

Plod, don't sprint. Be fruitful like a tree, not efficient like a machine.

In this audiobook, Douglas Wilson both considers the theology behind technology, work, and mission and advice on how to be productive - and to think about productivity - in the digital age. We should not rush to buy each and every new iPhone or fancy new gadget, but neither neither should we reject the new technology out of nostalgia for the good ol' days when people worked with their hands or starved. Instead, we are called to see modern technology as wealth and tools that we can use, whether for good or for ill. The key is wisdom and the ability to create the right habits and the regular discipline to use what we have been given.

In Ploductivity, you'll find about:

• The practice of plodding away at a pile of work, instead of frantically trying to sprint through it all.
• Being stable and graceful, like a buffalo upon the plains, not frantic, like a prairie dog or roadrunner.

A deep dive on the meaning of what we do

Douglas Wilson does not does disappoint here. He takes a thoroughly biblical view of our work, but not just what we do for a living, but what we do in our life.

Labor is the Lord is not in vain

Why I'm a post millennial?
Because I believe that the Sovereign God over all things is truly inexhaustibly good

Super awesome!

Huge encouragement. Great author, great book. Great lessons learned. Highly recommended. Soli Deo Gloria. Buy it and read it.

Loved it!

Great book, just hoping I can implement some of the gems of wisdom in it. I'm a crisis worker. Always in emergency mode. I hate it. Love the ideas on how to change it.

An essential theology on tools and work

This book is an essential theological dive into our tools, and our work. eason for us to eat here. The various ways in which we serve the Lord one action at a time, where he puts, and the work he put in front of us.

First Book of the Year

Like many of us, I set goals at the beginning of the year for for a few different aspects of my life, and a part from the Bible, the very first book I pickup or listen to is Ploductivity. This short book is theologically sound and incredibly practical, and will help you set course for the new year. Do like I do and make Ploductivity the first book of the new year.

Easier to read than do

I thought this was an excellent book and will be re-listening as well as encouraging my teenagers and thinking of ways to model and encourage all my children.

Biblical Worldview of Work

Written in true postmil form with a positive view of hard work and God’s blessings and juxtaposed to the counter. Every book of Pastor Wilson’s that I’ve read has clearly explained his views and sited Scripture to support such. Garden, change the oil, or fold the laundry while you listen or he’ll step on your toes.

Thoroughly Biblical

The value of this book is that it takes the Bible and applies it to its subject matter, work and wealth. It is both encouraging and clearly meant to light a fire under the Christian to use all means available to glorify God. If you have spent time reading books on productivity this will not only help you found a foundational reason to be productive but it will give you the spark to make much of Christ in all of life. Excellent book!

Thankful for the wisdom here

In a sea of productivity and efficiency garbage books that push an ineffectual, newly-discovered, silver-bullet strategy, this is a buoy of faithful encouragement to press on in faithful plodding chasing Godly ambitions. Very good read!
