Book Description

Publication Date: 17 Sep 2010 | ISBN-10: 1844744884 | ISBN-13: 978-1844744886

This is a book to help Christians to think about thinking. Focusing on the life of the mind helps us to know God better, love him more, and care for the world. Along with an emphasis on emotions and the experience of God, we also need to practise careful thinking about God. Piper contends that 'thinking is indispensable on the path to passion for God'. So how are we to maintain a healthy balance of mind and heart, thinking and feeling? Piper urges us to think for the glory of God. He demonstrates from Scripture that glorifying God with our minds and hearts is not either-or, but both-and. Thinking carefully about God fuels passion and affections for God. Likewise, Christ-exalting emotion leads to disciplined thinking.

Readers will be reminded that 'the mind serves to know the truth that fuels the fires of the heart'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Reason on fire! 5 July 2011
By J. R. Peel
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I expected no less from John Piper! A well reasoned and impassioned plea for us to recognise that love and reason can not only co-exsist but, in the words of Thomas Goodwin, "are the mutual cause of each other". This really is a must read!

2.0 out of 5 stars A disappointing read 11 Jun 2011
By Anna Moyle
Format:Paperback
In Think John Piper sets out to "help Christians think about thinking". Piper successfully ties together thinking earnestly about God and treasuring and loving him, arguing that the mind and the heart are inextricably linked when it comes to worship, studying the Bible and how we treat others.

However, Piper has a tendency throughout the book to get caught up in stale agendas and arguments to combat what he sees as the rise of relativism both within Christianity and society in general. He thus devotes two entire chapters to the subject of relativism, which could have been better used to write positively about the rise of scholarship within the Christian community in the past few decades.

5.0 out of 5 stars A much needed called to Think! 1 Aug 2011
By Daniel Pollin
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
As Piper states in the opening chapter many books have now been written on the Evangelical mind, so why read this one? If you are looking for a book that is not based on the social and cultural summons to think (and don't get me wrong these books are very important) but upon biblical commands to use our minds to the glory of God then read this book.
