I say Book Club because if you want your more than welcome to read with me. I have quite a bit of free time down here the TV is emotionally and mentally draining so I set in a hammock and read. So if you've got time I will try to keep every up to date.
So I just finished my second book of the trip. This one took a little longer because I didn't have a 6 hour plane ride to fill. Also the fact that it is John Piper make it a little difficult to blast away 50 pages in one sitting. After about 30 pages my eyes were beginning to drop out of there sockets. Although it was very good, it's a large amount of information that is very well written and explained but not exactly a "See Spot Run" type of read. Also I had never heard of the term a "Christian Hedonist" so I was trying to grasp a new concept. I feel like Piper has just created a phrase that can really explain the depth of what it means to fully commit your life to feasting on Gods glory and finding not only joy in the good time but joy in the hard times as well. Which the only reason a person would honestly be able to do that would be if they were more concerned about glorifying God then about their own personal comfort.
Very Good Book interesting read
The next book I'm starting is Paul Tillich. I didn't know who this guy was but Bri had it in her little library of books. Look up the guy on Google and man is her old but regardless of that I'm looking forward to the read. Maybe he can answer some questions of "what is and what isn't faith" or "How do I define True Faith". It' a little shorter read then Piper so I'll be sure to tell you how the read was in a week or so.
God Bless to every
