Piper, John. The Pleasures of God: Meditations on God's Delight in Being God. Sisters, OR: Multnomah, 2002. 400 pp. $14.99. This book is quickly becoming the theology book of the 21st Century to change your life. This book is the 2nd in a series of three by John Piper to explain what he calls 'Christian Hedonism'. I know that there have been some to call him a 'hyper-calvinist' in an attempt to scare people away from his writings. But to say that would be equal to saying that some who reads their Bible is a 'hyper-christian'. Surely there is substance that will enlarge your appetite for what God delights most supremely in, unless of course you have predisposed yourself to not see it. A pleausre to read.

Thanks for the book suggestion. I'm always looking for a great read. I just finished a book by John Bevere, Drawing Near. Great book!

I'll have to look into the Piper book as well as some Os Guinness. I'm reading "The New Faithful: Why Young Adults Are Embracing Christian Orthodyoxy" by Colleen Carroll, and she quotes Os Guinness quite a bit. Thanks for the tip!
