What's Best Next: How the Gospel Transforms the Way You Get Things Done
"The power behind our productivity comes from realizing that, through faith in the gospel, we are accepted by God in Christ apart from what we do. This puts wind in our sails and unleashes the power of the Spirit in our lives (Gal. 3:5). Truth: The only way to be productive is to realize that you don’t have to be productive."
