5.0 out of 5 stars
Depth and Brevity
This has been a favorite, have read through it three times now. The length of each chapter is just right, time enough to think and ponder without being so time consuming that you find yourself not doing it on a daily basis. I look forward to those moments of reading and contemplation. I find the "meditations" understandable without being frivolous or shallow.

A condensed version of Piper's texts
I received this little book as one of the "goodies" Desiring God Ministry gave away during their national conference in Minneapolis, MN, I attended in September 2004. I found the devotion for each day seems to be a condensed version of John Piper's sermons you can find at their website or books.

This review is from: Life as a Vapor: Thirty-One Meditations for Your Faith (Hardcover)
I received this little book as one of the "goodies" Desiring God Ministry gave away during their national conference in Minneapolis, MN, I attended in September 2004. I found the devotion for each day seems to be a condensed version of John Piper's sermons you can find at their website or books. But I still think it is too long for a devotion and more appropriate for a group Bible Study. If you're looking for a devotional book, I would recommend Spurgeon's instead, short but loaded, to begin and end the day for the entire year. Nevertheless, I still enjoy Piper's God-centered, thought and joy-provoking preachings, particularly in this book, the one about Jonathan Edwards and the pilgrim mindset, taken from Edward's sermon in 1733 "Christian Pilgrim".
