'I warmly commend John Piper's appeal to all believers to be diligent in engaging our minds and to do so with God-honouring humility and Christ-loving passion.' --Vaughan Roberts
'If you want to feel profoundly, learn to think carefully. And start by reading this book!' --C. J. Mahaney

Product Description
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'.

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!

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.
Format:Paperback
Piper has done it again - a remarkably thorough yet also concise treatment of a very important subject. He shows that in order to be faithful to the call of God on our lives, we must seek to honour and love Him with all of our minds, as well as our hearts, souls and strength.
Although I found the book a little wordy at times, one cannot fail to understand and see Piper's heart that we, as the Church, recover rigorous intellectual life that honours Christ in every way.
Buy it, read it and give it away to friends for the glory of Christ.
