Once a month on the third week of the month I will be doing a book review. Hopefully books that most of you guys haven't read. This months book I'm sure everyone has read but one friend of mine said he would read the blog if I did a book review of this on.
don't waste your life:
The author of this book is the well read and well versed pastor of the Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis, John Piper.
Being one of his best selling books Don't waste your life is a must read for any Piper fan. The ol' cult classic that we all know and love should be on every pastors shelf and for that matter your shelf. This book is not only a great hit it has also lead to the 'don't waste your life tour' but has been the theme for t-shirts, rap songs, and countless other parafanielia.
The books starts with the testimony of Pastor Piper and his upbringing in Minnisota. He testimony is great to hear, good to think on, but these first two chapters can be somewhat 'dry' and a little hard to get into. But hang on and strap on our safty-belts kidos cause chapter three blows you out of the shallow end and into the Blazing Centre of the Gory of God!
This book makes you take a hard look at your own life and makes you ask the question; Am I wasting my own life? I know it seems every book I pick up is 'life-changing'. But I were to say hat of any book with sure authority, it would be this one. 'May it never be said that I wasted it...'
