Covenant and Commandment: Works, Obedience and Faithfulness in the Christian LifeA key issue in Christianity is the nature of works or obedience or faithfulness in the Christian life. While evangelicals can generally agree that one enters into a covenant relationship with God by grace (even solely by grace) apart from works, there is often much more disagreement over how to construe the nature of works, or obedience, inside this covenantal relationship. From a close study of key Old and New Testament texts, Bradley Green shows

A key issue in Christianity is the nature of works or obedience or faithfulness in the Christian life. While evangelicals can generally agree that one enters into a covenant relationship with God by grace (even solely by grace) apart from works, there is often much more disagreement over how to construe the nature of works, or obedience, inside this covenantal relationship. From a close study of key Old and New Testament texts, Bradley Green shows that in the new covenant, works or obedience will be a God-elicited, real and necessary part of Christian life.

______________

"For the Christian, to know Jesus, to confess him as Lord, entails obeying him. But how does this reality relate to a plethora of complementary themes? Dr Green addresses this question by soundings in an impressive diversity of topics. . . . Along the way Dr Green interacts with various writers in the Reformed tradition, and with contemporary thinkers (e.g. Henri Blocher, N. T. Wright). The canvas on which he paints is large enough to draw in a wide range of readers, all of whom will find themselves simulated to think about these issues more precisely." D. A. Carson

Transform Your Life and Work: Achieve More by Doing Less with 'The 4-Hour Workweek
Format: Hardcover
I just had to share my thoughts on "The 4-Hour Workweek" by Tim Ferriss, a book that has been a game-changer for me, both professionally and personally. As someone who's deeply involved in helping others unlock their potential and transform their lives, I can't stress enough how valuable this book has been. Why This Book is a Game-Changer Empowering Lifestyle Design: Ferriss’s DEAL framework (Define, Eliminate, Automate, Liberate) is a clear roadmap for creating a life that prioritizes meaningful experiences over conventional work routines. It aligns perfectly with my approach to transformation, emphasizing the importance of living a balanced and purposeful life. Efficiency and Productivity: The book's emphasis on the Pareto Principle (80/20 rule) and Parkinson's Law has revolutionized how I manage both my work and personal projects. By focusing on the critical 20% of activities that yield 80% of the results, I've been able to streamline my efforts, achieving more in less time. This is something I actively teach my clients to help them eliminate unnecessary tasks and focus on what truly matters. Overcoming Fear and Taking Action: Ferriss's insights on overcoming fear and taking bold steps are incredibly empowering. His framework for evaluating worst-case scenarios and preparing for them has helped me and those I mentor to move past paralyzing fears and take decisive action. This approach is crucial in encouraging a mindset of resilience and proactive problem-solving. Selective Ignorance and Focus: The idea of a low-information diet has been revolutionary for me. By cutting out unnecessary information and focusing only on what is immediate and actionable, I’ve been able to maintain a clearer mind and better focus on my creative and entrepreneurial endeavors. In today’s information-overloaded society, this concept is a lifesaver. Practical Application and Sharing: Recognizing the transformative potential of this book, I’ve bought multiple copies to give to struggling friends and fellow entrepreneurs. Ferriss’s strategies are not just practical but also inspirational, offering a new perspective on work and life. By sharing this book, I aim to empower others to break free from the traditional 9-5 grind and create lives filled with purpose and freedom. In summary, "The 4-Hour Workweek" is more than just a guide to working less; it’s a manifesto for living more intentionally and efficiently. The principles in this book have significantly influenced my work and personal philosophy, making it a vital tool in my toolkit for transformation. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking to redefine their relationship with work and achieve a more fulfilling, balanced life.
