A Godward Life: Seeing the Supremacy of God in All of Life Hardcover – October 6, 2015

Filled with godly meditations. Most helpful!

I bought this devotional as a Christmas gift for my husband. Not only was it his favorite gift, but we also purchased a second copy for his friend and our Pastor. The chapters are small enough to read in a few minutes, but packed FULL of truth and encouragement for the Christian seeking to be more like Christ. My husband and I both highly recommend this book!

I just picked up this book again today. I LOVE being able to read a short excerpt from John Piper and really get something substantial out of it without having to invest tons of time. Even the Introduction to this book is captivating! I especially love Chapters 15 and 25, about reading. Very thought-provoking.The chapters are only 2-3 pages, but aren't short on meaning. These are MEATY chapters and you will definitely have something to chew on for the next day(s) to come. I intend to buy Godward Life Book 2 as well.See my other reviews for other devotional book recommendations!

I'm on reading 89 of 120 in this Scripture-rich, thought provoking devotional. I appreciate this book because it is very readable and easily accessible with readings that do not exceed two pages. Mostly I agree completely and other times disagree with vigor but that is what makes this a great devotional - no fluff here. If your looking for a meaty, quick, daily devo that stays true to the Word, pick this one up.

In very short chapters, Piper sheds new light on familiar verses and takes obscure or difficult verses and makes them more clear. His devotion to the glory of God and to encouraging the reader to find full satisfaction in Jesus comes through on every page. Four stars and not five because of the chapter on Lincoln.

My pastor recommended this book to me and I love it as a devotional for daily reading. With 120 chapters it should last that many days but I tend to keep reading so it will not last long! I am struggling through Desiring God by Piper and his discussion of "Christian Hedonism" so I was surprised and delighted with this book. I got it on Kindle but I am ordering a hard copy to pass around to friends.It is a great christian book.

This book is easy to pick up and read one chapter or devotion and really be able to think about it without feeling too overwhelmed and is a great way to get a meaningful devotion for the day! John Piper is one of my favorite pastor/teachers and as always this book doesn't disappoint.

Good devotional for men.

Piper is one of my favourite authors in that he combines heart of feeling with deep theology. In this book he did not disappoint.If you are looking for devotional material that will take you deeper than this book is for you.

This book by John Piper is a devotional well worth the time spent daily in being absorbed by it. John Piper writes very well, in a thought provoking manner, catching your attention with creative applications to Biblical truths. This book is not one to be read with haste, over a couple of days or even weeks. The topics are quite contemporary, relevant to the struggles all Christians face and provide wonderful suggestions and Biblical avenues for consideration and long-term contemplation.
