A Word of Warning About Piper's Emphasis
This is a general comment on Piper's books. I deeply appreciate the work of John Piper--especially his emphasis on missions and on living God-centered, Christ-exalting lives of worship. And I am Augustinian, so I love Piper's theology and am thrilled that he has become so popular. But I do want to provide a warning. Piper's main emphasis is (and you'll read this over and over again) "God is most ...

Created For Worship: From Genesis to Revelation5 reviews
Noel Due
Mentor, 2005
A Breath of Fresh Air!
Dr. Due's work is both breathtaking and doxological! He skillfully leads the reader on a journey through the biblical narrative. Along the way, he insightfully point us to oft-neglected theological mile markers (an organic view of the church, a recovery of biblical eschatology) related to the subject of biblical worship. I found his recurring reflections on "false worship" (idolatry) as ...

Created for Influence: Releasing God's Will for Your Life and Nation
William L.III Ford
Chosen, 2007
The church is uniquely positioned to influence the culture around it. But too often Christians have abdicated their responsibility, leaving behind a world that is rotting with sin and with no way to overcome it. Although our faith, through fervent intercession, can break the power of personal and national strongholds, many believers remain either unaware or uninvolved. Created for Influence calls readers to move from a spot on the sidelines to ...

Tyndale House Publishers, 1982
Created for Commitment
This book is a great read. I found the life experiences of Miss Johnson fascinating. Her life was truly dedicated to God and the experiences she shares show how God weaves all the facets of our lives to work ALL things (good and bad) for the good of those who love Him. This book made me think BIG! I think we all focus too much on matters which don't have eternal importance. It also made me ...

Heaven's most glamorous star, the brilliant Star of Bethlehem, was dismayed because God made him different from all the other stars. He was unconfortable being different and wanted to be an ordinary star. When he realized that he had been created for a special purpose, he was so proud.
