Last week I finished reading through John Piper's book, don't waste your life. This is a book that we had bought last year when we were in California. I have been wanting to read it for a while now, but I always seemed to pick some other books instead. Anyways, I can honestly say that I was challenged by this book. The only problem is... I spent too long reading through it. Because of different things going on, I only got to read it once in a while. I don't normally like that because then I forget what I read through last, so it takes a little more time and effort.
I am not sure where you are at right now in your walk with the Lord, but I would definitely encourage you to get this book and read through it. I love how John Piper constantly brings it back to what the purpose of our life is... to glorify the Lord and to really enjoy Him.
Something really stood out to me towards the end of this book. It is at a point where he really begins to lay it out and challenge the reader to consider what it is the Lord wants to do in and through their life. He encourages the reader to, if need be, get away for a few days with a Bible and a notepad and to really seek the Lord what it is that He has called them to do that would make the nations be glad in Him. Maybe you don't have the time to do that, but I do think it is important for each of us to make sure that we are doing that which the Lord created us to do.
We have one life, may our lives truly be lived to glorify Jesus in all that we do!
