3 Ways from Paul to Maximize the End of Summer
Jon Saunders
The middle of summer is typically a nice slowdown. Parishioners are away on vacation; the church puts a pause on the business ministry, and rushing kids around town for school and sports slows down.

What's Best Next: How the Gospel Transforms the Way You Get Things Done
Matt Perman
By anchoring your understanding of productivity in God's plan, What's Best Next gives you a practical approach for increasing your effectiveness in everything you do.
There are a lot of myths about productivity — what it means to get things done and how to accomplish work that really matters. In our current era of innovation and information overload, it may feel harder than ever to understand the meaning of work or to have a sense of vocation or calling.
So how do you get more of the right things done without confusing mere activity for actual productivity?
Matt Perman has spent his career helping people learn how to do work in a gospel-centered and effective way. What's Best Next explains his approach to unlocking productivity and fulfillment in work by showing how faith relates to work, even in our everyday grind.
