This compilation from the 2010 Desiring God National Conference explores loving God with both the heart and the mind.
The 2010 Desiring God National Conference was built around the premise of John Piper's recent book Think: The Life of the Mind and the Love of God. In it, Piper passionately argues that thinking and the affections of the heart are inseparable. Our emotions fuel our thoughts for God. Likewise, hard thinking about God leads to deeper joy in our relationship with him. Both, in turn, help us focus outward as we express a greater love for others.
Speakers at the conference expounded on this premise by exploring related themes in a number of areas, including ministry, philosophy, and evangelism. Contributions by Rick Warren, Francis Chan, John Piper, R. Albert Mohler Jr., R. C. Sproul, and Thabiti Anyabwile bring a wealth of perspective and experience as the volume calls for readers to love God with both heart and mind.
