Yesterday, courtesy of World Magazine , I received in my inbox a chapter from the book With Calvin in the Theater of God , edited by John Piper. I was impressed by what I read, and since our local library didn't carry the title, I ordered a used paperback copy from eBay for $4.29 + tax. That done, I continued down through my inbox to see I had gotten a coupon code from my local cable company. "Thank you for being such a great customer," it read. "Enter this code for $5 off your next bill." Keeping in mind that I once cancelled my (basic internet) cable for year in the process of price negotiating (after they again raised my rates for no reason), I can't help but feel my life a part of the theater of God.
