Insightful and convicting

I appreciate Piper’s devoted attention to providing scriptural basis for his statements and conclusions. His analysis of truth is informed by the whole scope of the biblical record, and this helps me strongly consider the questions he offers about how we live our lives and how we lay ourselves out before the Lord and allow him to direct how we are spent for his name on this earth.

The general message

Loved the massage and written in a way as to hold one’s interest for the entire duration.

where I need to be as a chritian

when I finish a book. there was a message for me. I ask God to give me the wisdom and Strength to go on a mission trip to see if it is my calling

A great read that will help your soul

This book is a great read and it realy inspires you to live a christ centered, Christ exalting life and do what you do well for the glory of God. It is also nice to see a bit into Piper's life as well as the lives of others.


"Only one life,’ twill soon be past,
Only what’s done for Christ will last." CT studd ( cited on page 14 and throught this book)

Every generation must read!

There is more to the Christian life than getting married, having kids, and going to church. Piper beautifully articulates the high calling of being a follower of Jesus and using the time we are given to promote His Kingdom.
