2007-11-29 A very good book - practical and readable

I got on really well with this book. I have read Piper in the past, and he can be so hard to read because he packs so much into each sentence. It becomes a case of: "I understand all the words in the sentence, but what on earth was he saying?"

This book is not like that. It is still very meaty, but it has a simpler style. You either agree with his principle of "Christian Hedonism" or you don't - many find the very name of the principle impossible to reconcile. He argues his case for living for joy in God in his other (many) books. Here, he simply gives some good advice as to how to live that way day by day.

Is Jesus glorified in this book? Absolutely. Therefore it gets 5 stars from me without question.
