This is a transcription of a talks delivered at the 2013 Desiring God conference. I found this on a "bonus borrow" through Hoopla. It was a great companion as I shoveled through a March blizzard.
The final chapter, What God Made Is Good and Must Be Sanctified is what snagged my attention. In it, Piper teaches from I Timothy 4 that asceticim is not God's ideal for us. That Satan can bring about rebellion in us not only through excesses like gluttony but also through abstinence. That food and sex were created to be received with thanksgiving.
This talk put Letters to Malcolm, Chiefly on Prayer near the top of my TBR list.
