Important corrective for the ascetic tendencies of modern evangelicalism. A call to enjoy God's good gifts.

Wonderful

Excellent book; I learned a great deal. Very Biblical, and I will instigate some personal changes because of the truths here.

Only complaint is the narration. Reader’s voice stayed on the quiet side too much. I found myself having to turn the volume up, then down as the reader’s volume adjusted.

Great Book, Narrator could be better

This is an excellent book. However, this is one of the worst narrators I’ve ever heard on a professional recording.

Great Book — Horrible Narrator

So thankful that God led me to this book. Helped answer a lot of questions I’ve had and also pointed me more towards God over my enjoyment of things.

Life affirming book

This book is a beautiful picture of seeing evidence of grace all around you: both in creation and the created!

To God be the glory, great things He has done!

This book was an answer to a prayer and a deeply enlightening read. Not only was it instructional, helpful, biblical, and edifying, it also produced a deep joy in me while I read it. I recommend every serious Christian read this book at some point, but most especially if they're feeling guilty about enjoying God's good gifts in the world.

An Amazing, Enlightening Book
