Well, it’s coming to the end of October, and that means several things. First, the epicness that is Thanksgiving and Christmas is just around the corner.

The first Theology book I ever read was Don’t Waste Your Life by John Piper.

Well, it’s that time again.
John Piper, pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church and founder of Desiring God, has come out with another new book.
