The author definitely takes his own advice and does not waste the reader’s time with chitchat or useless information, and I will try and do the same. 1: The Modern Meeting supports a decision that has already been

This is a small book, barely over 80 pages, but it is packed with truth. It is essentially a condensed version of Piper’s famous work Desiring God, Revised Edition: Meditations of a Christian Hedonist.
