The selections are all relatively short but as with all of Piper's stuff, packed full with truth and encouragement. <BR/>You sound like me, lots o' books on the list! <BR/>Have you picked up Prodigal God from Keller yet? If so, I'd be curious to know your thoughts on it. <BR/>Lovin' your new site by the way! Great stuff. <BR/>Blessings <BR/>RonRon Reffetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05532409668239545254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3863766103330386375.post-807833212678751562008-12-22T06:01:00.000-08:002008-12-22T06:01:00.000-08:00Thanks for wetting my appetite for Taste and See (...Thanks for wetting my appetite for Taste and See (pun intended!). ;) I've informed my wife that yet another book is on my Christmas list.

I'm glad that the Lord used this post to encourage us! <BR/>You're right, He doesn't change and He's in control no matter how we may feel...that's a lesson I'm definitely still in class on! All things do and will work together for our good, Andrew Bonar says on encouragement when our prayers seem to be delayed, "The blessing we pray for may not come at once, but it's on it's way. Sometimes the Lord keeps us waiting long, because He likes to keep us in His presence."Ron Reffetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05532409668239545254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3863766103330386375.post-5803673122368420222008-12-21T22:08:00.000-08:002008-12-21T22:08:00.000-08:00thanks Ron.
