When I Don't Desire God: How To Fight For Joy Audiobook

" If you don't want to be challenged to love and desire God even more than don't read this book! Very challenging and stimulating! Highly recommended. "

" John Piper delivers another mind bending look at what it means to err on the side of hedonism. The title itself should be enough to take a peak inside. Christians all over should consider this book a standard part of their library. "

" Most practical Piper book "

" Everyone experiences spiritual dryness. Piper gives solid advice on what to do when you are in less than thrilled about spiritual things. "

" I was wasting time in Borders and came across this title. It is what I feel a lot of the time. It was a great writing on why we should be praising most of the time. I may not always agree with Piper, but I admire him and I know I can always learn something from his teachings. "

" Excellent read. Had to move through it slowly because Piper can be deep. This is a theological book, and it's shaped my theology. I'll likely reread at some point. "

" I have grown so much since I read Desiring God and my theology no longer lines up with Piper. I found this book to be tedious and hard to read due to our differences. I will try to come back to it another time when I have more patience. "

" It seemed to contradict itself. Just my observation. "

" Also read 9/22/04 "

" I was so blessed by this book. I read it while suffering with post pardum depression and it was so helpful. "

" Mostly very good, sometimes really great. "

" By now you know my opinion of John Piper. "

" You'll get out what you put into this book. "
