Story
On November 3, 2020, Tim and Aileen Challies received the shocking news that their son Nick had died. A twenty-year-old student at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, he had been participating in a school activity with his fiancée, sister, and friends, when he fell unconscious and collapsed to the ground. In Seasons of Sorrow, Tim shares real-time reflections from the first year of grief—through the seasons from fall to summer—introducing listeners to what he describes as the “ministry of sorrow.”

Story
Do work that matters. Productivity isn't just about getting more things done. It's about getting the right things done - the things that count, make a difference, and move the world forward. In our current era of massive overload, this is harder than ever before. So how do you get more of the right things done without confusing mere activity for actual productivity? When we take God's purposes into account, a revolutionary insight emerges. Surprisingly, we see that the way to be productive is to put others first.

A lifelong pursuit of knowing God should embody the Christian's existence. According to eminent theologian J.I. Packer, however, Christians have become enchanted by modern skepticism and have joined the "gigantic conspiracy of misdirection" by failing to put first things first. Knowing God aims to redirect our attention to the simple, deep truth that to know God is to love His Word.

What can the call to discipleship, the adherence to the word of Jesus, mean today to the businessman, the soldier, the laborer, or the aristocrat? What did Jesus mean to say to us? What is his will for us today? Drawing on the Sermon on the Mount, Dietrich Bonhoeffer answers these timeless questions by providing a seminal reading of the dichotomy between "cheap grace" and "costly grace."

What image forms in your mind when you think of productivity? An assembly line? Spreadsheets? Business suits or workplace uniforms? In the ancient world, productivity didn't conjure images like these. Instead, it referred to crop yield and fruit bearing. This agrarian imagery helps us understand productivity through a biblical lens. Jesus taught, By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit (John 15:8). Who doesn’t want to have a truly productive life—to bear much fruit?

I’m too busy. We’ve all heard it, we’ve all said it. Sometimes being busy seems like the theme of our lives. Yet this frenetic pace poses a serious threat to our physical, social, and even spiritual well-being.

How did the world arrive at its current, disorienting state of identity politics, and how should the church respond? Historian Carl R. Trueman discusses how influences ranging from traditional institutions to technology and pornography moved modern culture toward an era of “expressive individualism.” Investigating philosophies from the Romantics, Nietzsche, Marx, Wilde, Freud, and the New Left, he outlines the history of Western thought to the distinctly sexual direction of present-day identity politics and explains the modern implications of these ideas.

This newer edition of the King James Bible published in 1769 is usually preferred by most that read it over the older 1611 version. This 1769 edition is highly sought after due to being more reader/listener friendly than the 1611 since many typos were fixed.... We hope your new audio bible will go everywhere with you and be a blessing for years to come.

The Qur'an, believed by Muslims to be the word of God, was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad 1,400 years ago. It is the supreme authority in Islam and the living source of all Islamic teaching; it is a sacred text and a book of guidance that sets out the creed, rituals, ethics, and laws of the Islamic religion. It has been one of the most influential books in the history of literature. Recognized as the greatest literary masterpiece in Arabic, it has nevertheless remained difficult to understand in its English translations.

Why is The Book of Enoch so important to anyone interested in Biblical history? The answer is simple: It is directly quoted in the New Testament by Jude (vv.14-15). Themes of the book referenced in 2 Peter 2:1. Jesus also used content from The Book of Enoch in many of his sermons in Matthew and Luke. In this text, you will hear the word of God through this amazing document. We will take this amazing journey together and learn why this text is not an official book of the Bible.

Story
Turning the other cheek does not mean standing by while the enemies of God dismantle Christian civilization and brainwash our children. Decrying the cowardice that masquerades as meekness, Eric Metaxas summons the Church to battle. An attenuated and unbiblical “faith” based on what Bonhoeffer called “cheap grace” has sapped the spiritual vitality of millions of Americans. Paying lip service to an insipid “evangelism,” they shrink from combating the evils of our time. Metaxas refutes the pernicious lie that fighting evil politicizes Christianity.

The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Do work that matters. Productivity isn't just about getting more things done. It's about getting the right things done - the things that count, make a difference, and move the world forward. In our current era of massive overload, this is harder than ever before. So how do you get more of the right things done without confusing mere activity for actual productivity? When we take God's purposes into account, a revolutionary insight emerges. Surprisingly, we see that the way to be productive is to put others first.

As he passes the starting line, he is already considering how he will cross the finish line. As he takes his first easy step, he has planned how he will take his last grueling step. As a Christian man, you are already running the race of life. You are not competing against other people but against the deadly enemies of the world, the flesh, and the devil.

What image forms in your mind when you think of productivity? An assembly line? Spreadsheets? Business suits or workplace uniforms? In the ancient world, productivity didn't conjure images like these. Instead, it referred to crop yield and fruit bearing. This agrarian imagery helps us understand productivity through a biblical lens. Jesus taught, By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit (John 15:8). Who doesn’t want to have a truly productive life—to bear much fruit?

He shows how one can be like Christ in being joined to Christ. The market is ready for DeYoung's timely book.

How does the church portray the beauty of Christ? The gospel is a theological message. But this message also creates human beauty - beautiful relationships in our churches, making the glory of Christ visible in the world today. In this timely book, Pastor Ray Ortlund makes the case that gospel doctrine creates a gospel culture. In too many of our churches, it is the beauty of a gospel culture that is the missing piece of the puzzle. But when the gospel is allowed to exert its full power, a church becomes radiant with the glory of Christ.

Reasons and Guide on being productive
“Do More Better: A practical guide to productivity” is a book written by Pastor, blogger, and teacher Tim Challies and the audiobook is superbly narrated by Lloyd James. It is a rather short book covering the subject of productivity at just over one hundred pages with the audiobook edition coming in at almost three hours. Everyone one of us is given the same amount of time per day of our lives, and we have to be able to know, understand, and prioritize our activities needing to be accomplished; including both work, family, and free time.
The book is a quick practical guide from a Christian perspective on how and why you should be doing more and doing it better. It is not a book designed to pressure or push you to do more. Nor is it a book that take you down a path saying that productivity is the only solution to all your problems in life; like some others I have read. Instead, it simply shares with you many of the obstacles each of us faces when it comes to productivity and how many of us like to take the easier road of not being productive which never ends well for anyone involved. Not being productive is not an option.
I have never been disappointed with anything I have previously read by Mr. Challies, and this book is no exception. I will say that for someone who is already leveraging technology or is tech savvy in the way the book describes in its latter chapters, you will still get something out of reading the first half. You may also be surprised and learn something new in the second half. The same can be said for those weak with the more modern tools able to assist with productivity, or for those looking to answer the more practical question of; “what can I do to get started being more productive?” You will get most of the practical aspects covered in the latter half of the book along with some good suggestions and tutorials on various technologies or tools to assist with productivity. If you are a connoisseur of productivity books or methods, Challis shares nothing entirely new or innovative; which is a good thing. He does not claim to have a silver bullet or technology that you can buy from him that will take care of your productivity issues. He focuses more on why productivity is important, who it is directed at, and how one can begin setting up a plan to be more productive. All of this is very good if you do not already have a system in place. Both parts of the book are important, and even the author himself says that he recommends you not skip ahead to the more practical parts without first having a foundation and right thinking around productivity.
The author does a good job in the first few chapters discussing why productivity is important and the reason we should strive to be productive. Productivity is not simply doing more for one’s own selfish desires or to receive praise from your boss or co-workers. Not at all. There is a more significant reason productivity is important and that is what is covered right at the beginning of the book. Simply put, productivity is about how you can serve and do good to others by doing what is right and necessary. This can only be achieved by having a method and tools to assist and permit you to be successful.
Regarding the narration of the audiobook by Lloyd James. What more can I say than it was professionally produced and the reading was clean and clear. There were no issues I could recall while listening and the pacing was at a speed that seemed good. I did listen to the book a bit faster than the standard setting (1.5x), but this was more so I could fit it into the window I had to complete it. Mr. James is a veteran when it comes to audiobook narration with over two-hundred and fifty other titles on Audible. He also narrates a wide variety of genres, so I’m sure there may be others you would find by him.
In summary, if you are looking for a well-written book from a Christian perspective on why productivity is important along with some great examples of tools and practical methods getting you started down this road, I would recommend this book for you. If you already have a good productivity plan that works for you, the first half of this book still be something you would be interested in.

Great book, but consider buying it in print
What made the experience of listening to Do More Better the most enjoyable?
The content was full of practical tips and information to help improve personal productivity. It provides step by step walkthroughs of generating a solid outline for your day, the tools you use, and how to use them. I am already benefitting from this.
What other book might you compare Do More Better to and why?
Four Hour Workweek (Ferriss) and What's Best Next (Perman)
Any additional comments?
The audio version is a bit of a challenge, because the book has several "Action Steps" where you will want to stop the audio, and go do the step. While it is only a couple hours long, it took a few hours more than that to get through, because of actually following the book's instruction. In other words, this isn't a book you'll want to listen to on your work commute or while jogging, but rather while you're at a computer following the "steps". If that is a problem for you, then I would highly recommend the print format instead.

Tremendously Helpful
I have been using Tim's productivity system for about three years now and I have been greatly helped by it. I have revisited this book every new year and I get more out of it each time (it's amazing how much you forget). I like having both the audiobook and the E-Book; the audiobook isn't quite sufficient on it's own. When you get to the task portion of the book you really need to see what he is talking about.
All in all, a very helpful work.
S.D.G.

Most Organized I've Ever Been
What did you love best about Do More Better?
I recently changed jobs and decided I needed to get more organized with all the information that comes my way. After listening to and implementing Challies' recommendations, I find myself telling others, "I'm more organized than I've ever been in my life," and "I feel more in-control of my life--and my info--than ever before." I highly recommend this book, and more importantly, implementing his system. Once that's done, tweak it as necessary, and do more...better.

Productivity System Seems Wonderful
This is exactly the type of book I was looking for! Now let's just hope that the system works as well as it sounds like it will. This book was an easy quick listen.
