I enjoyed the first half - very easy to read and introduced me to some reformed theology (best John Piper writing)
the second half - the part by Jonathan Edwards was _very_ hard for me - not natively English speaking. But I wrestled through some pages and it was worth all the effort - but it took me about half an hour per page! :-) ( )

John Piper brings Jonathan Edwards' "The End for Which God Created the World" back to life in this two books in one. Edwards' half (the latter part) examines the philosophical and theological ramifications of creation and being created to worship. It takes a little bit of patience to read Edwards, but he is well worth the read. His insights are timeless and strengthened by his understanding of scripture. Piper's half is informative and a great summary. I would recommend reading Edwards' half first, then read Piper's response. Piper does give some biographical backgrounds, but it is not entirely needed to understand Edwards' treatise. ( )
