Thankful for good books
Monday night I arrive home from class to find a box awaiting me. It was books the books I bought from the DesiringGod special $5/book sale back in late June. I was among 11,000 orders than day (they normally get about 100 daily), so I understand the delay. It was worth the wait.
(And by the way, a disclaimer: I looked at the box of books and then to Kari and said, “You are worth more than all my books; I’m not opening these tonight. I’d rather be with you.” We were able to catch up from our days and the books waited until today to be sorted out.)
Now the books of John Piper take up almost two feet on one shelf:
In the midst of my other studies and teaching commitments reading through each of these will take some time — and enjoying the God-exalting, Christ-magnifying, Bible-saturated truths will take eternity to explore. Thank God we can know Him!
The first one up for my consumption: God Is the Gospel: Meditations on God’s Love as the Gift of Himself. (Amen!)
