I don't know, bro. Couldn't John Piper have come up with a phrase to express the adoration and total devotion to God that was a little less revolting? I tried reading "Desiring God," and the ideas were great, but the expression grossed me out so much that I couldn't finish the book. Sorry to say it, but I'm sure a lot of people see it the same way I do (as I'm sure you've encountered). He'd have done us a better service by not trying to be so arbitrarily radical or revolutionary. After all, the idea of entering into a romantic relationship with God -- the bride & the bridegroom, as it were -- is not new. But the idea of equating in a single phrase that which is spiritual and that which is carnal is. Makes me wonder who his readership turned out to be. Sorry, man.
