5.0 out of 5 stars Christian - Don't Waste Your Life!, May 10, 2008

This review is from: Don't Waste Your Life (Group Study Edition) (Paperback)

As my title suggests, this book is written for Christians. Our mission is to make much of Christ, and to glorify Him. As John the Baptist said "He [Jesus] must become greater; I must become less" (John 3:30). This book which is so beautifully written by Pastor John Piper elegantly conveys this ever-important message to Christians as a wake-up call. Why are we finding so much joy in worldly things which do not last if Christ is our true Treasure? Is it perhaps because we are not fully living in fellowship with Him? Mr. Piper addresses so many crucial questions in our pursuit to glorify God and defends the idea that "God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him". It seems that this truth has the potential to completely change for the better how many Christians live their lives, and this is the reason why John Piper has written this book. If you want to be inspired to live your life the way God intended for you to live it and to bring Him the glory through all circumstances, then this is a must-read for you! Pick up a copy, read it, and then pass it along to others! And, most of all, don't waste your life, because you have help from the risen Christ to live a life not wasted! Let us pray along with John Piper and say "As God lives, and is all I ever need, I will mot waste my life...through Jesus Christ, AMEN".

This is Piper at his finest. "Don't Waste Your Life" is extremely challenging and will make you think about what is truly important in life. I strongly recommend it. A great choice for church small groups to journey through as well.

John Piper's Don't Waste Your Life is timely in the sense that wherever you are chronologically in life's journey, the book is right for you. It is timeless in that the advice given is not advice that will change with the change of fashions and fads in our culture. Whether you are a Christian or not, Piper's book offers words of wisdom concerning how best to use the lives we have been given -- the all-too-brief lives on earth. This book was extremely helpful to me -- a good wake-up call.
