			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have become a fan of John Piper over the last month after I ran across his blog feed (<a href="http://www.desiringgod.org">www.desiringgod.org</a>) through Google&#8217;s Reader recommendation system.  I can summarize why I appreciate his preaching/teaching so much in two points: 1) he preaches from the Bible, not his own imagination, and 2) he is disgusted with &#8220;prosperity preaching&#8221; that floods many churches and Christian TV.  It is the second point that really resonated with me because John Piper practices what he preaches; all of his sermons, books, study guides, etc. are available for free in mp3, mp4 and PDF formats on his website.  Looking through his books I ran across &#8220;Don&#8217;t Waste Your Life&#8221; which immediately caught my attention as this is a topic that is near-and-dear to my heart. </p>
<p>What motivates us to do anything?  What is worth pursuing?  In the end, will anything that I have done have any eternal worth or am I just plodding along in vain?  These are obviously not easy questions to answer, and every person usually has their own answer.  I have read the first chapter and I really like Piper&#8217;s approach and style; he is a very educated man and I sure he could make a small fortune off of all of his writings.  It is the fact that he gives it all away for free that gives me so much joy.  Here is a man who is striving to live a life that is not wasted, following God&#8217;s will for his life the best he can, and putting his purpose before his prosperity.  Anyways, if this is a topic that strikes a cord with you, his book &#8220;Don&#8217;t Waste Your Life&#8221; can be found here: <a href="http://www.desiringgod.org/media/pdf/books_dwyl/dwyl_full.pdf">http://www.desiringgod.org/media/pdf/books_dwyl/dwyl_full.pdf</a>.</p>
<p>All of his (and others&#8217;) books are available in PDF form here: <a href="http://www.desiringgod.org/ResourceLibrary/OnlineBooks/ByTitle/">http://www.desiringgod.org/ResourceLibrary/OnlineBooks/ByTitle/</a></p>
