Do You Want a Friend? par Noel Piper
We may have lots of friends, but there is only one perfect and lasting friend, Jesus.
Noel Piper does a wonderful job of giving us an insight into 5 "ordinary" women who God greatly used for His glory. She also gives us her insights on things she has learned through these ladies. These ladies are:Sarah Edwards, Lilias Trotter, Gladys Aylward, Esther Ahn Kim and Helen Roseveare. They all were women who had one thing in common; they were willing to be used by God. I highly recommend this book as it will teach you much about our great God and women who were used by Him and for Him.
Mrs. Piper chose wonderful women to profile. They are real enough that it's easy to imagine yourself reacting to a situation just as they did. For instance, Mrs. Piper notes that at least twice Helen Roseveare is rebuked for wrong attitudes. Helen's humility in accepting the rebuke and repenting was a great example to me. This book is an effective tool to help us live our lives for the glory of God. This is also a great book because the profiles are just that: profiles. Though detailed, they don't take forever to read. You feel like you've accomplished something, and you may be left wanting more! Finally, this book is worth reading because Mrs. Piper isn't satisfied just telling us about someone else's life. Each profile concludes with Mrs. Piper's own thoughts about the lessons she learned from reading about these saints. She directs our thoughts to that which is most important - God and His Word. This wonderful book is a quick way to get a handle on the lives of some shining examples of Godly women, and is a lesson in itself on living life God's way, and the eternal rewards of seeking first His kingdom.
