Dont Waste Your Life

by John Piper

Book Cover

 

 "Millions of people are wasting their lives pursuing dreams of happiness  that don't rise above a good marriage, nice kids, a successful career, a nice car, fun vacations, nice friends, a fun retirement, a painless death, and (hopefully) no hell. John Piper calls this a tragedy in the making. He argues that we were created for joy. We were designed to have one passion."

 "In this book he describes his own journey toward this great, single passion. And he pleads that at all costs we pursue our joy in the crucified Christ, who is the glory of God. The cost is great. But the joy is worth any cost."

The Life of David Brainerd

Compiled by Jonathon Edwards

Book Cover

"After the young missionary David Brainerd died of tuberculosis at the Edwards home in 1748, Edwards read through Brainerd’s manuscript diaries. Impressed, he resolved to prepare them for the press...This work was a major impetus and inspiration to the domestic and foreign missionary movement of the late eighteenth and through the nineteenth century. For Edwards, Brainerd may well have served too as a model for mission work among the Indians at Stockbridge"
