As Christians we are called to live lives solely for Jesus and seek to be like him in all that we do. I can honestly say that the book Don’t Waste Your Life by John Piper bewilders my mind both with keen curiosity and surprise.

Critical EssaysPurpose of Don Quixote Cervantes himself states that he wrote Don Quixote in order to undermine the influence of those "vain and empty books of chivalry" as well as to provide some merry‚ original‚ and sometimes prudent material for his readers’ entertainment. Whether or not the author truly believed the superficiality of his own purpose is immaterial; in fact‚ Cervantes did make a complete end to further publications of chivalric romances.
