Synopses & Reviews
This compilation from the 2010 Desiring God National Conference explores loving God with both the heart and the mind.
The 2010 Desiring God National Conference was built around the premise of John Piper's recent book Think: The Life of the Mind and the Love of God. In it, Piper passionately argues that thinking and the affections of the heart are inseparable. Our emotions fuel our thoughts for God. Likewise, hard thinking about God leads to deeper joy in our relationship with him. Both, in turn, help us focus outward as we express a greater love for others.
Speakers at the conference expounded on this premise by exploring related themes in a number of areas, including ministry, philosophy, and evangelism. Contributions by Rick Warren, Francis Chan, John Piper, R. Albert Mohler Jr., R. C. Sproul, and Thabiti Anyabwile bring a wealth of perspective and experience as the volume calls for readers to love God with both heart and mind.
Synopsis
Here is a call to holistic Christianity. A challenge to be thinkers, engaged and serious about knowing God. And to be feelers, pulsing with passion for Jesus and his gospel. And to be doers, endeavoring great acts of love for others.
Our Savior himself shows us that holistic Christianity is comprised of mind, heart, and hands. And he shows us that the Christian life is multidimensional--irreducibly and inseparably thinking, loving, and doing.
With contributions from Francis Chan, Rick Warren, Albert Mohler, R. C. Sproul, and Thabiti Anyabwile, Thinking. Loving. Doing. extends a thorough and compelling invitation to experience the fullness of the Christian life.
Synopsis
The Christian life is more than thinking-but not less. And it's more than feeling-but not less. It's more than doing as well-but never less. Healthy followers of Jesus engage their minds, hearts, and hands in glorifying him.
