Plod, don't sprint. Be fruitful like a tree, not efficient like a machine.In this punchy and wise book, Douglas Wilson considers the theology behind technology, work, wealth, and mission and gives unforgettable advice on how to be productive—and to think about productivity—in the digital age.We should not rush to buy each and every new iPhone or fancy new gadget, but neither neither should we reject the new technology out of nostalgia for the good ol' days when people worked with their hands or starved. Instead, we are called to see modern technology as wealth and tools that we can use, whether for good or for ill. The key is wisdom and the ability to create the right habits and the regular discipline to use what we have been given.Ploductivity: n, 1) the practice of plodding away at a pile of work, instead of frantically trying to sprint through it all2) being stable and graceful, like a buffalo upon the plains, not frantic, like a prairie dog or roadrunner

"Marriage is not a vending machine, and love is not two quarters to put into it. It's a manner of life, not an exchange of commodities. So what does it look like when a man loves a woman?"Douglas Wilson answers that question in "How To Exasperate Your Wife and Other Short Essays for Men," and his responses are as wide-ranging and humorous as they are incisive and down to earth. Douglas explains why men's distorted view of wisdom handicaps their understanding of their wives, and he exposes rigid (and wrong) approaches to marriage and relationships. He gives practical advice for identifying unhappy households (Mom is ignored) and replacing abdicating dads with true leaders ("Measure strength not in decibels but in performance"), all combined with hot tips on how to exasperate your wife (you may start with leopard underwear...).Both realistic and insightful, "How to Exasperate Your Wife and Other Short Essays for Men" points husbands (and wives) towards a passionate married love that is particular, sacrificial, sacramental, and muy caliente.
