Description

Most of us are trying to make a difference where we are, yet feel overwhelmed, overloaded, and far too busy. Some even have great, world-changing ideas — but get stuck trying to make them happen.  How do you get “unstuck” from these things to make a real difference — without resorting to complex systems that take more time to keep up than they actually save?How to Get Unstuck answers this question by introducing readers to ten core principles that are at the heart of becoming an effective person for the glory of God. These principles are flexible enough for people to adapt and apply them to their own life and context. This book is more than just good ideas that you read and never apply. How to Get Unstuck walks you step-by-step through the core principles that free you to be more effective in everything you do. Each chapter also has an “Unstuck Clinic” that allows you to reflect and apply the principles more fully to yourself.How can we learn the discipline of personal effectiveness? Starting with the scriptures and drawing on the best contemporary research, How to Get Unstuck shows you how to live an integrated life. True effectiveness is accomplishing God’s purposes, in God’s way, and for God’s glory, and this book will show you how.Editorial ReviewsReviewPerman’s new book on productivity goes beyond the how of effectiveness to the why: Why do anything well? The answer is found in our theology: Excellence, attention, and care are all ways that we leaders love our God and our neighbors. Drawing on the wisdom of business gurus, neuroscientists, and pastors, Perman has provided a resource for all of us who desire to steward our time, talents, and resources better so that we can live out the gospel more faithfully and fully in the time we’ve been given. — Katelyn Beaty, former managing editor, Christianity Today, author of A Woman’s Place: A Christian Vision for Your Calling in the Office, the Home, and the World Getting stuck is frustrating, disruptive, and unavoidable. Getting stuck is also not the way it is supposed to be, suggests Matt Perman in his new book, How to Get Unstuck. Gleaning the wisdom from the best of the personal-effectiveness gurus, Perman combines common sense and biblical principles to help you get out of the rut that may have become your new normal. This book will help you joyfully bring more flourishing to the communities God has called you to serve. — Hugh Whelchel, executive director, Institute for Faith, Work & Economics, author of How Then Should We Work? Rediscovering the Biblical Doctrine of WorkWhen I encountered the concisely practical wisdom in Matt Perman’s latest book I immediately thought of several friends who would benefit from the tome. Then I took out the log stuck in my own eye and realized how much I needed to take Matt’s advice to heart. In Romans, we’re called to resist the ‘patterns of this world.’  Unstuck shows us how.– James H. Gilmore, author, Look: A Practical Guide to Improving Your Observational Skills and co-author, The Experience Economy I’m a big fan of Matt Perman’s work. If you can imagine a cross between theologian Jonathan Edwards and Getting Things Done guru David Allen, then you have in your head a picture of Matt Perman. No one combines theological substance with practical and transformative self-management insights like Matt. His What’s Best Next was hugely helpful–and I couldn’t be more excited about his thoughtful and imminently practical new book How to Get Unstuck. Nothing faddish or superficial here. This is God-centered and gospel-driven wisdom–the best of self-management insights set within a genuinely Christian framework of flourishing in Christ. Highly recommended!   — Todd Wilson, senior pastor, Calvary Memorial Church, author, Real Christian: Bearing the Marks of Authentic Faith Christians today need to understand how to live healthy and productive lives, not only in the home, but especially in the workplace. Productivity is hard-wired into our DNA by God who created man in His image and likeness. This is why I’m so excited about How to Get Unstuck by Matt Perman. This book will help readers learn how to be productive in a short, easy-to-digest manner. I encourage you to pick up a copy of this book and learn how to become even more productive via a Christian worldview. — Dave Jenkins, executive director, Servants of Grace Ministries, executive editor, Theology for Life MagazineFrom the Author”I doubt there is a person on the planet who knows both theological issues and time management literature to the depth and extent Matt Perman does.” — John Piper, founder and teacher, desiringGod.org; author, Don’t Waste Your Life; from his foreword to What’s Best NextFile Size: 1086 KBPrint Length: 288 pagesPublisher: Zondervan (May 1, 2018)http://www.amazon.com/How-Get-Unstuck-Breaking-Productivity-…
