The Things of Earth

Treasuring God by Enjoying His Gifts

De: Joe Rigney

Narrado por: Joe Rigney

The world is full of good things. The Christian life is a journey in holiness: from one degree of glory to the next. But for too long there has been an unstated belief that as Christians grow in holiness, the things of earth will, as the hymn says, grow strangely dim. But Dr. Joe Rigney sees it differently. As the poet once said, The world is charged with the grandeur of God. The smile of a wife. Baseball in October. The Sawtooth Mountain Range. Toddlers’ laughing. Meatballs in spaghetti. A very good whiskey. What are Christians to make of these earthly pleasures? In this book, Rigney offers relief to Christians wrongly burdened by anxious guilt that they might enjoy their stuff too much. There is another way besides Idolatry and Ingratitude. This book will instill a rich gratitude to the Father of Lights, the Giver of every good and perfect gift. Featuring a foreword by John Piper.

Better than older audio book!

I bought this version not long after I had already bought the older version. The authors voice is so much easier and more enjoyable to listen to. I’m so thankful for this new version! Thank you!

Worldview altering!

I will listen again. Some chapters I did several times and kept gaining your insights. This was an abundantly helpful application of scripture!
