Desiring God (Audio-book Review)
Audio-books are an excellent gift, as they can be listened to and enjoyed many times and places reading cannot. I bought this as a wedding gift for a dear friend and his new bride.

Rating:  - Book tells wives to be submissive to husbands and to avoid a "cocky" attitude
Piper's book was shallow, repetitive, and not useful. He also has a painfully bad writing style that was tiring to wade through. He advocates disturbing things like wives always being submissive to their husbands. He warns wives not to be "cocky" in their behavior to their husbands. Repellent, ugly stuff.
Rating:  - So good
Such a great book. My only complain is that it can get a little repetitive. The last few chapters are EXCELLENT! I hope that you can at least read the last few chapters, if not the whole book. Worth the money. Very moving and very biblical. A way at looking at things your might now expect, but you will wonder why the thought had never crossed your mind before, haha.
Enjoy!
