Reddit reviews The Blessed Life: Unlocking the Rewards of Generous Living

In many ways it does fit with Driscoll's recent trajectory. Gateway's polity is virtually identical with what Mars Hill was building: local elders without the ability to check the senior leader, with an external, hand-picked board that is supposed to hold the senior leader accountable. I guess why it is so weird for me is that Mark Driscoll was my access point into reformed theology, and it was surreal for me to see him on stage with the man who wrote [The Blessed Life] (http://www.amazon.com/The-Blessed-Life-Unlocking-Generous/dp/0764217070). It was through Driscoll's influence that I found guys like Piper, Carson, and Keller, and eventually Bavinck, Berkhof, and Calvin. Reformed truth brought me out of the man-centered, prosperity churches like Gateway.
