review 1: Not a bad book, mainly just not my cuppa. I'm not a big Piper fan (nothing personal, just his writing style isn't what I enjoy) and though I really liked some of the content of Warren's essay, his writing style was basically "Baptist preacher's sermon put into text." Whoa. Not great to listen to, even worse to read. Somebody should have edited that, maybe? Would have helped the quality of the essay/book so much. That's as far as I got, so... form your own opinion.
review 2: My pastor I had at Moose Creek is a huge fan of John Piper, who influenced me to start reading his books and listening to his sermons, which are really, really good. Well, this is a compilation book that resulted from a conference a couple years ago. It includes chapters from 5 esteemed coll... moreeagues of Piper's, and the overall theme of the book discusses how important study and knowledge of God is, but points out that knowing a lot is one thing, but if it is not shared with a loving heart it will not be received as openly. Further, a balanced combination of knowledge and love results in people who serve in all different ways. I think they intend for this book to be for any Christian, I think it focuses more to pastors, after all these men are all pastors of churches. Each contributor gave a distinctive and compelling presentation, but my favorite by far was the chapter by Francis Chan. I also was attentive to Thabiti Anyabwile's chapter as he is a former Muslim, so I thought the points he made were very interesting. The topic of this book is rather dry, but it is important and worth the time to listen or read. The panel discussion at the end was where I started to become restless. It was like a group of big smart men sitting together showing off how smart they are. So I deducted points from my rating because of that. less
