He encourages a return to a recognition of God's holiness and the mortification of sin in the life of a believer. He uses Scripture to prove that the principle of Christian hedonism is fundamentally flawed. The author calls all of these preachers and authors out as heretics and seeks to explain why. I chose this book because I have been concerned for some time about the teachings of those in the New Calvinist movement including John Piper and Tim Keller.This book, however, focuses on the more popular teachers whose books have become household names. "I actually have no idea how to sum up what I've just read. "synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title. "The discussion of the substance of religion without reverence, without a sense of the Divine presence, and a single eye to edification, is only a profanation of holy things, and at best must alienate the precious truths from their true purpose."

The author claims that many of these young people are unwilling and unable to make a thorough examination of what John Piper really believes.

This book argues that John Piper's doctrine of Christian hedonism is a novel invention, and one not found in any of the church's historical affirmations of the faith. Heresy is " adherence to a religious opinion contrary to church dogma".
