Unlock Your Potential: 7 Biblical Principles for Finding Purpose, Achieving Presence, and Accomplishing More

Janice Honeycutt: There are lots of Time Management books out there. Raynor presents this material in a way that convicted me to make actionable changes in my habits, systems and behaviors. For the first time in years I have ZERO emails in my inbox (previously 11000 unread), no notifications on my watch or phone and blocked time for truly productive work.

Mark McGeever: Jordan Raynor weaves together principles and best practices in a way that empowers readers to achieve God's purposes, both personally and professionally. Having read widely in this genre, it was refreshing to glean further insights from a book that integrates a biblical worldview, centers on Jesus, and helps us become "wildly productive."

deepblue: This is a great book for anyone living in the 21st century, who’s feeling exhausted and overwhelmed with work and life in general. The author based all the principles written in the book on the Bible, which I like. The practices taught are practical, using modern digital tools and approaches. So you’ll feel it’s all doable and that the first step doesn’t seem so overwhelming. The way the author put his points forward is graceful and sometimes funny. So you’ll enjoy reading the book so much that you don’t notice you’re finishing it so fast. Of course it takes time and practice to achieve whatever life goals you have. But at least the book helps you (and me!) to know what are the little things successful or productive people do every day. When an author says, you got to be disciplined and productive by knowing your purposes, a lot of time doesn’t help much because once you know your purposes, you have no clue what are the steps toward realizing it. This book helps me in that way. And I drew a sigh of relief to realize that most people today are struggling with finding rest while being effective and productive at the same time. I learned how to build routine and daily...

Esther: I first learned about Redeeming Your Time when I completed one of the YouVersion Bible App's plans. Jordan provided brief, concise, and practical tips from the book that were so realistic and do-able that I knew I had to get the book. What a treat! I often find that Christians offer abstract solutions that can be hard to apply in real life, but Redeeming Your Time is different. The tips and strategies are real and tangible, making it easy to implement them in daily life.

Mr Bruce: I have been a fan of Jordan's podcasts and blogs for some time, that is how I found out about this book. It is as straightforward as I think you can be in relation to how as Christians we manage our time. He doesn't do it all on his own shoulders he has gathered wisdom from many others writing Redeeming Your Time this is why in my opinion it's a great book to read. If you read this you at least understand what the other books are about and you are free to go ahead and read them.
The book is more suited to people who have an office type job I think. It doesn't really carry over into my particular work world but it does apply to my church commitments and managing them effectively. I have by no means applied all the practices of the book but all make sense. The theology of the book is its strongest point, whatever we do in life we should base our practices on the template of Jesus, the word made flesh. For the glory of God and the good of others.

Andreas Münch: Dieses Buch von Jordan Raynor ist einfach nur der Hammer! Ich habe schon viele Ratgeber für mehr Produktivität und Zeitmanagement gelesen, doch dieses Buch hat mir bisher am besten gefallen und am meisten geholfen. Raynor verbindet auf wunderbare Weise die christliche Theologie und Vision von Zeitmanagement und praktische Erkenntnisse und Einsichten aus der Wissenschaft. Seine Grundprämisse ist, dass wir von Gott geschaffen, berufen und begabt sind und unsere Zeit zu Gottes Ehre und dem Wohl der Menschen ausfüllen sollen. Anhand vom Leben Jesu, wie wir es in den Evangelien geschildert finden, leitet Raynor sieben Prinzipien ab, wie wir weise mit unserer Zeit umgehen können. Dabei gelingt es Raynor gut, die Theorie und Praxis in der Balance zu halten. Seine Ausführungen sind super praktisch und m.E. für jeden umsetzbar, der wirklich Struktur in sein Leben bringen möchte. Der Autor sagt selbst, dass das Buch als Arbeitsbuch gedacht ist und warnt davor alles auf einmal umsetzen zu wollen. Aber wer sich die Zeit nimmt und die einzelnen Ratschläge nach und nach umsetzt wird schnell mit kleinen "Erfolgserlebnissen" belohnt werden. Ich kann das Buch jedem empfehlen, der sich...

Hannah-rose Russell: You may not believe me when I write this, but Jordan Raynor’s latest release, Redeeming Your Time, is one of the most TRANSFORMING books you will read this year! With thousands of motivational books professing to have found the “elixir of time management,” Jordan Raynor takes a humble and refreshing approach, removing us from the center and putting God in His rightful place. Including 7 biblical principles inspired by Yeshua/Jesus’ time on earth and 32 practices that will reshape your life, Redeeming Your Time is more than a self-help book; it’s a tool that will put the puzzle pieces of your life together to ensure that you are doing your most effective work for the Kingdom of God!

Yeshua knew He didn’t have a lot of time to fulfill His mission, so He was purposeful with how He spent each day. Nevertheless, while it was essential for Him to be among the people and minister to the lost, Yeshua also showcased the importance of separating ourselves from the noise and spending time in silence. Today, we live in a world of unending noise, distractions, and idols that want to divert our attentions away from the purpose and calling God has placed on our hearts;...

Edwin: This is the most helpful productivity book I’ve read. I appreciate that it’s biblically based AND has a practical framework to actually help me get organized. I’m just starting to implement the steps, but I already feel like I want to work these things all the way out.

For once in my business life I believe that I can be organized and that my business can turn the corner. I want to move through my days like Jesus did. I want to rest. I’m super thankful for this book and I know its going to be one I refer back to for years to come.

When I first started reading I didn’t have expectations. I’ve read Jordan’s previous books and loved them, so I knew I wanted to check this one out. As I started to get further in things started to click for me (I’m typically a late bloomer so it was probably around chapter 3 when the lightbulb turned on). Things that I’ve heard before, tools I’ve fiddled with in the past, all of a sudden made actual sense.

The Todoist app for example…my director suggested that we keep track of lists together using it. We probably did it for…a week. Then it started collecting dust. But when I read HOW to use it, then laid my...
