Thanks to CBD, my new shipment has arrived: Orthodoxy by G.K. Chesterton and A Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life by William Law. Guess I decided to go old school on this one. It's good to have a combined 400 year perspective on things. As Howard Hendricks would say, "The timely is that which is timeless." Anyone else read these? Reviews?
I must say that I have finally found some small benefit to reading John Piper. The author of the preface to Law's book talks quite favorably of the motivation afforded by gratitude and the perils of seeking eternal rewards. Although I can't stand Piper, I have at least become more attentive to the dangers of what this author advocates because of Piper's books.
