Desiring God: Meditations of A Christian Hedonist Audiobook

" I'm enjoying every letter, every chapter, every page of this book. "

" Will make you re-think everything about your relationship to God, His relationship to you, and your relationship to the world. Piper may call these "Meditations" but don't confuse them with "Musings". These are profound insights. "

" An excellent summation why we should strive for pleasure and satisfaction in God, even if you could take the thesis much further than Piper does. "

" Second reading of this book was even more of a blessing than the first. Highly recommended read. "

" Changes the "got to" of Christianity in to the "get to" of knowing God. Completely opened my eyes to the joy God wants for His creation. "

" The only way this book challenged me was in actually being able to finish it. John Piper doesn't seem to realise that there are alternatives to his views/methods and that his way might not be the best... A testament to the sheer egoism of Piper is all this book should ever be recognised as. "

" I only wish John Piper himsel narrated the audio book. "

" Piper has a great exposition for his point of view. But this book could have been a lot shorter. "

" How he inspires us to have more faith in the Lord God Almaight. "

" i love it so far "

" This book is such an encouragement for how we should live as believers. I wish I could retain every word in my head! "

" Great book! Places the emphasis in life squarely where it belongs on God, not us. If you are seeking optimal satisfaction in life, read this book adn do what it says. "

" This is a good book explaining the position of Christian Hedonists. The book actually changed my life, in a way--I really enjoyed it... "

" read this way back, but loved it and still recommend it. overall i really like piper, but sometimes all of his books tend to blend together for me. this was the book that started me off on many reads by this author. "

" The joy of loving God is the joy of loving life. I liked this book. Quite a serene reading. "

" One of the most formative books in my spiritual life. It's Edwards popularized. "

" The material in this book was worth five stars or more, but it is too long for what it is. Regardless, it is one of a kind and Piper is a man of high caliber who can be trusted. "

" A book I need to read again. Piper has good things to say, but it is mentally draining to read it. "

" Presents the follower of Christ with thoughts from the Scriptures that are relevant and life-changing. "

" This book changed the way I related to God. I really liked it and would recommend it to christians new and old. "

" This one really connected with my heart. Could be taken the wrong way, but if you understand what he's getting at, it can lead you closer to God. "

" Piper sets us free to admit and even move toward our desires by helping us to realize that God glorifies himself when we are most satisfied in Him. Delight is the duty of those who would know God and seek him. A classic on our motivation to seek Him. "

" To a mature Christian, there is nothing new in this book. However there is definitely no doubt that this is a good book if you are a fairly new Christian who is unsure about where Christianity can take you in this current life. "

" I love how John Piper turns my thinking upside down, so it is really rightside up! "

" Really thankful for this 25th anniversary edition. A delight to read. "

" Second reading of this book was even more of a blessing than the first. Highly recommended read. "

" I have to admit that I didn't read this book cover-to-cover. It was a bit too "heady" for me and I wasn't in the mood to be that "deep". Seemed ok, but I don't think I'm a huge Piper fan. "
