Redeeming Productivity

Getting More Done for the Glory of God

By: Reagan Rose

Narrated by: Reagan Rose

Feeling overwhelmed and unproductive? The answer isn’t to do more.

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? But how does this happen in the places we hold dear—the home, workplace, and in our communities?

We often feel overworked and overrun, defeated and discouraged. The world says be productive so that you can get all you can out of this life. The Bible says be productive so you can gain more of the next life. In Redeeming Productivity, author Reagan Rose explores how God’s glory is the purpose for which He planted us. And he shows how productivity must be firmly rooted in the gospel. Only through our connection to Christ—the True Vine—are we empowered to produce good fruit. This book shows how we can maintain the vitality of that connection through simple, life-giving disciplines. Readers will discover manageable applications like giving God the first fruits of our days. Additionally, Reagan discusses how our perspective on suffering is transformed as we see trials as God’s pruning for greater productivity.

Super practical and helpful!

What a lovely helpful and interesting book! I really enjoyed the spiritual and practical applications. Excellent and motivating book!

Clear! Full of grace and approachable

This book makes it easy and not scary to be productive. Simple yet profound. Thank you

Faithful, Exhorting, and Revealing

Redeeming Productively by Reagan Rose has completely changed how I view my time. I can't understate how intentional Reagan is with handling scripture appropriately, and glorifying his God through his work. Because of God's grace, given through this book, I will be chasing my "Well Done," every morning.

Excellent!!! Biblical, Practical, and Encouraging!

This was a timely and encouraging word for me and I would highly recommend it to anyone who is seeking to be a faithful steward of all that the Lord has entrusted to them!

Great book for Christians with Biblical Basis

Highly recommend this book for all Christians looking to be better stewards of their time to the glory of God. It gives both Biblical grounds for improving productivity and practical application. I’ve already given a physical copy away once and have been recommending it to my brothers and sisters in Christ.

AMAZING!

I loved this book! So practical but driven by a love for God. Anyone seeking to be more productive needs to drop all other books and read this.

Really liked it!

Such a good framing of the problem and by comparing it to secular productivity focus, I think we see where Christians can go astray… like I have with this topic. I’ll read/listen to this one again for sure!

Biblical view of personal productivity, transparently delivered

Reagan stuck to the scripture in developing sound doctrine on this subject, humbly. The theological pillars of ownership, purpose, content, power and motivation for the life on earth of the believer in Jesus Christ are indeed foundational, and will stand the test of time.

Really liked the book

The book is very intense and informative, I will definitely re listen it in future.

God glorifying productivity: Doing the right things with the right motives

I am a stay at home mom who doesn’t waste much time and thought I didn’t need to hear how to get more done given my stage of life. I’m so glad I’m doing a reading challenge that had a category “a book on productivity” and I was forced into it. Such a good read for any believer no matter the amount of time or abilities God has given to you to steward.
