Publisher Description
The Christian life is more than thinking--but not less. And it's more than feeling--but not less. It's more than doing as well--but never less. Healthy followers of Jesus engage their minds, hearts, and hands in glorifying him. This volume, built on the 2010 Desiring God National Conference and John Piper's recent book Think: The Life of the Mind and the Love of God argues that thinking and the affections of the heart are inseparable. Our emotions fuel our thoughts for God. Likewise, hard thinking about God leads to deeper joy in our relationship with him. And both, in turn, help us focus outward as we express a greater love for others. Contributions by Rick Warren, Francis Chan, John Piper, R. Albert Mohler Jr., R. C. Sproul, and Thabiti Anyabwile bring a wealth of perspective and experience in calling for readers to love God and others with heart and mind and hands.

"I liked the book a lot.. It was a hard read for me and for the majority of the time I would have renamed the book just Thinking. The Francis Chan part helped me the most."

" This is actually a compilation of messages delivered at a Conference in 2010. I found it slow going and disjointed. Better to download the Mp3's and listen to them. "

" I really only loved Francis Chan's portion. I wanted to enjoy Rick Warren's. I found much of the book a dry, painful read. "
