Description

Modern life is fragmented.

Dad clacks away in front of a screen, the kids are catechized by state-approved strangers, and mom puts needles in the arms of patients while the family dog snores alone in an empty house.

Does it have to be this way? Absolutely not.

For decades, Pastor Adam Madden has been laboring to build something far better. The Productive Household is part wake-up call, part field manual for families who refuse to settle for a shared address and a handful of evenings on the couch.

Drawing on Scripture, Puritan wisdom, hard-won experience, and real-world case studies, Madden makes a convincing case for reclaiming the family-integrated economy—the household that doesn’t just live together but works together.

Don't just stand there. Do something.

Great book, very approachable. Written like Pastor Madden is sitting at the table with you, discipling you through these concepts. I read the whole the book to my wife, and it inspired both of us greatly. This is the kind of book I wish I could give myself 13 years ago, when our family started. I plan to get several copies to give the younger men/families in my congregation.

I’m thrilled to have this book, it’s a lovely edition and such crucial info for building the new Christendom in our households. I guess I’m supposed to be reviewing the purchase and not the book itself - everything was top notch. No problems with shipping, packaging was branded with Alfred and looking really good. Nothing gay whatsoever about my experience ordering with NCP.

A much needed work on a lost concept in today’s evangelicalism. Thank you to pastor Madden for this work and New Christendom for publishing it!

I got more out of this book than two years of seminary. Increasingly, pastors want to avoid practical application "so we don't bind the conscience", when in reality they are being led by fear of man. 10/10 every group of men who are serious about raising Christian children, instilling in them a love of people and place, and keeping your generations need to read and begin the arduous, glorious work of building productive households.
