I thought I would give John Piper's book, "The Satisfied Soul" a second chance to impress me. Having read some others by him that were not my cup of tea, I found this one was produced from three previous books Pierced by the Word, Life as a Vapor, and A Godward Heart. There are 120 days of devotionals, two-four pages, each dealing with different topics in which we find our selves dealing with today.
My issue with this book as well as the others by Mr. Piper, is I do not agree with his Calvinist views. Having said that there is still some good things to take away from "The Saisfied Soul" The book can lead you to a deeper study of Gods' word.
I will say this is the first devotional I have read that actually dealt with current world issues including terrorism, racism, mental health, marital challenges, politics, and the media. While I do not agree with some of the view points, it is still part of the society we live in and we must contend for the faith.
