Think : the life of the mind and the love of God / [print] John Piper. - Wheaton, Illinois : Crossway, (c)2010. - 222 pages ; 22 cm.
My pilgrimage -- Deep help from a dead friend -- What do I mean by thinking? -- The place of thinking in coming to faith : mental adultery is no escape -- The place of thinking in coming to faith : rational gospel, spiritual light -- Treasuring God with all your mind -- Jesus meets the relativists -- Exposing relativism -- Unhelpful anti-intellectual impulses in our history -- You have hidden these things from the wise and understanding -- In the wisdom of God the world did not know God through wisdom -- The knowledge that loves -- All scholarship for the love of God and man.
Piper urges us to think for the glory of God. He demonstrates from Scripture that glorifying God with our minds and hearts is not either-or, but both-and. Thinking carefully about God fuels passion and affections for God. Likewise, Christ-exalting emotion leads to disciplined thinking. --from publisher description
