Taste and See

He's given it away, replaced it, and threatened to give his away again. My husband's favorite devotional book is Taste and See by John Piper. If he acts now, he can buy all the copies he wants for 5 bucks a piece at the amazing 2 day online sale at the Desiring God website. All books are on sale on June 27-28. Here is a quote from my husband's favorite chapter in Taste and See, "The Only Ultimate Love."

The love of God is not God's making much of us, but God's saving us from self-centered sin so that we can enjoy making much of him forever. And our love to others is not our making much of them, but our helping them to find eternal satisfaction in making much of God.

I'll have to see how much pocket change I have squirrelled away. I might want to spring for a biography or What Jesus Demands from the World. Or what about Battling Unbelief? My birthday is coming up in two weeks and my grandparents usually tuck a fiver in a card. Or I could buy my husband another copy of Taste and See to give away.

Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him! Psalm 34:8 ESV
