About this audiobook

As social justice, environmental causes, and not-for-profit ministries rise in popularity, more and more people are looking for a life of adventure, to live for something greater than themselves. Helping Christians put their faith into action for the glory of God, popular pastor John Piper is releasing this stand-alone edition of chapter 5 from his best-selling book Don't Waste Your Life. Piper teaches that risk is an action that opens us up to the possibility of loss or injury, but that living for Christ necessarily involves taking risks in faith, a road that ultimately leads to fullness of joy, the glory of God, and the good of others.

    Short listen and worth it! A good challenge for living a life sold out to Christ.

    A very short book which could be read in a short one hour slot. Piper writes here about taking risks, in a similar vein to Kevin DeYoung's 'Just Do Something' - although this is much better and less long-winded (Piper takes as long as he needs to expound this subject, while DeYoung goes on and on). Making choices in certain situations is quite difficult, and so Piper urges us here to make choices which are made based on what matters to God and others and not ourselves. It is beautifully written and is a book which I could pick up again and read in an hour where I would need to make a decision which needs an ounce of biblical encouragement. We are all put in situations from time to time which require us to make a tough choice for the sake of the gospel and our mind will attempt to rationalise why we should not take the narrow road, but here Piper expounds passages from both the Old and New Testaments to shine light on how God has used people in many generations to do his will in the face of oppression and persecution.
