Short Review: a scriptural defense of the life of the mind. As with pretty much all books I read by Piper, I appreciate his scriptural focus, his desire to edify the church while at the same time being frustrated by his lack of ability to understand how others can think differently than he does. I will say I am not really sure who to recommend this book to. Writing a book about the importance of thinking is like writing a book on the importance of reading. It may be a great book, but anyone that will pick it up probably already agrees with the premise.

Though the thesis of this book is very important to the Christian faith tradition, I was not this book's intended audience, nor did I agree with all the reasons in defense of the main point (aka, there are other, more sound arguments for it). However, this is merely my opinion and the book may be of great use to someone else.
