Welcome to my blog. I mostly write about Christian Living, but I enjoy the Kentucky Wildcats, New Orleans Saints, and a good cup of coffee.

To say I was a little excited for this book’s release would be an understatement. I have listened on and off to the Ask Pastor John Podcast for quite some time. Certainly longer than I can remember.
There are no words to describe the huge blessing John Piper has been to the global church. I was first introduced to Piper through the Passion college ministry run by Louie Giglio. I then got a copy of Desiring God and it turned my world upside down. I remember reading it late into the night in my parents basement and waking up in the floor with the book still open in front of me. I know there are thousands or more who have stories they could share about the way Piper has impacted them.
John Piper has written a lot of books, but he declares Providence to be his magnum opus. In it, he has written 711 pages about the providence of God—a term that he admits isn’t in the Bible, but takes great pains to define as prove scripturally. If you could only read one John Piper book, should it be Providence? Is it his most important work?
I can remember being in my parents basement and waking up in the floor in the middle of the night with Desiring God still open because I had fallen asleep reading so late. The truth that my main purpose was to glorify God and enjoy Him forever captivated me.
