April: Read Through Desiring God with me and Piper

That's right!  You can read Desiring God AND hear discussions with the brilliant author himself - John Piper! 

During April, Bethlehem College and Seminary is sponsoring the event.  Every Thursday in April, there will be a live webcast (and archived version if you miss it) at John Piper's blog .

I'm pretty excited - I've actually never read the book, but I have started it a few times.  Now, I have a little extra motivation.  I'll be trying to post updates about some topics, but I think there'll be way too much to discuss... we'll see. 

So, join in, even if you've already read it!

The schedule is as follows:
