When we think of productivity, we may look to entrepreneurs, CEOs, and productivity authors. How often, however, does Jesus come to mind? He traveled vast areas, reached an immeasurable number of people, and even today is one of the most revered persons ever to have lived. He is also our friend and Savior. Learning to be more productive may begin then, as in all things, with following him.

In this six-day plan by Bible study author Andy Klenke, you will be introduced to the Jesus of the Gospels and be invited to follow Him. Beyond a great teacher or miracle worker, Jesus shows himself to be God and worthy of worship. While simply understanding these truths is certainly helpful, each day will help you learn more about Jesus and prompt you to think about how these truths can transform your life.

Jesus loves rest. Quiet moments away were part of His routine. Read about how Jesus’ call to rest showed His concern for His disciples, who had been so preoccupied with the mission that they could not even find time to eat. Learn how intentional rest can help us recuperate and be more effective for God. Discover how to balance rest and action in your own life.
