The book Don't Waste Your Life has been the most influential book outside of the Bible for me. It has been a place of grace and refocus in my life.
It is a constant reminder that life is a vapor and makes me desire pursuing to spend myself on things that will last, and not the vanishing things of earth.
I am desperate to not waste my life. It seems to me that as a society and a people everything around us would have us to waste our lives. I struggle with this everyday.
I want to be radically un-addicted to the American dream but instead to be obssesed with Christ, and value Him so that I would be unbound to do all I can to make sure the treasure of Christ is known among all peoples.
Needless to say Pipers book Don't wate your life is a good wake up and refocus of this trust. It is rich and rooted in Scripture.
Now they are launching the Don't Waste Your Life website www.dontwasteyourlife.com which fatures tons of great stuff including podcasts.
I commend their resources to you. My pray is that both you and I would not wate our lives but see the surpasing value of Christ and spend ourselves to make it known...

Our Desire is that Jesus Christ would explode into your life and produce a single, holy passion for his name. In this passion, you will be set free from small dreams and weak visions. Christ will be so valuable to you that it will feel like no loss at all to give your life to his cause. You will come to the end and realize that you have everything if you have him.
Jesus says in the book of Mark, “Whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel’s will save it.”
You have one life. For your own sake and Christ’s, don’t waste it.

A clarifying book for me as well! I've read it is geared for the college age / young adult demographic. I think many I know in their 40's could also greatly benefit from this book.
