books by John Piper     books:       Feed My Sheep: A Passionate Plea for Preaching6 reviews R. Albert Mohler Jr., James Boice, ... Soli Deo Gloria Ministries, 2002 Drink Deeply of this Scriptural Well The Fact that this book is excellent should be no surprise, merely take a glance at the authors. This book will probably offend pastors who are in to the modern pop pyschology, but then they probably wouldn't be reading it anyway. Granted, that was probably unfair but... Naturally some chapters are better than others, here are a few: "The Lasting Effect of Experimental Preaching"--the essay on ...             Seeing and Savoring Jesus Christ13 reviews John Piper Crossway Books, 2004 Savor the Savior The healing of the soul begins by restoring the glory of God to its flaming, all-attractive place at the center (of our soul). (p.15) There is no one who doubts there is something that needs healing in the human soul. But the proposed cures are many, even in Christianity. The fact that American Christians are largely just as dysfunctional as unbelievers is testimony that we largely ...             Overcoming Sin and Temptation24 reviews John Owen Crossway Books, 2006 Indispensable! I've read many books on "Christian living", all pale in comparison to this master. He is streets ahead of Stott, Piper, White, Schaeffer and the plethora of modern authors who've unsuccessfully (and I say that only after seeing Owen's acheivement) tackled this topic.             Battling Unbelief: Defeating Sin with Superior Pleasure5 reviews John Piper Multnomah Books, 2007 We Sin Because It Offers Happiness: Don't Believe the Lie Battling unbelief contains chapters excerpted from Piper's much longer and more complete work, Future Grace. In Future Grace, each of these chapters is accompanied by two or three chapters setting forward the promises of God that we are to believe and put our hope in in order to win the battle with sin. I highly recommend Future Grace, but if the 400+ pages of that book may be a little daunting ...             The Hidden Smile of God: The Fruit of Affliction in the Lives of John Bunyan, William Cowper, and David ...9 reviews Good News Publishers/Crossway Books, 2008 Challenging and encouraging - great read! The second of Piper's The Swans are Not Silent series, this book was the most difficult to read because of the subject it dealt with - suffering. Piper selected three great men of the faith, known for their devotion to the Lord and their godly walk and let the reader peak behind the curtains of their lives - and the suffering, depression, attempted suicide and struggles of these three men was ...             Taste and See: Savoring the Supremacy of God in All of Life6 reviews John Piper Multnomah Books, 2005 Glorified and Satisfied John Piper understands that God designed us in His image as relational beings who thirst, long, desire, and hunger with passion. Piper also understands that "God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him" (learned well from the writings of Jonathan Edwards). It is this combination of truths that motivate Piper whenever he speaks and writes. "Taste and See" is no exception. As his ...             El sufrimiento y la soberania de Dios: Suffering and the Sovereignty of God10 reviews John Piper Editorial Portavoz, 2008 Humbling Essays This book has some great essays. It provides a great mix of theology, and personal testimony, and narratives of how God uses suffering to progress the gospel. The question of suffering is very complex so having a variety of writers from diverse backgrounds attacking the issue from slightly different perspectives helps the reader to understand how God uses suffering to glorify Himself, to mature ...             Counted Righteous in Christ: Should We Abandon the Imputation of Christ's Righteousness?10 reviews John Piper Crossway Books, 2002 Effectively Plugs the Leak on Justification John Piper is among the most respected American pastors of our day, in part because he comprehensively integrates pastoral theology with biblical and systematic theology in a way that produces a full-orbed Christian perspective and grounding. In this book, Piper focuses on the imputation of righteousness that is central to the Protestant doctrine of justification by faith alone. Many giants of ...             God's Passion for His Glory: Living the Vision of Jonathan Edwards15 reviews John Piper Crossway Books, 1998 A Word of Warning About Piper's Emphasis This is a general comment on Piper's books. I deeply appreciate the work of John Piper--especially his emphasis on missions and on living God-centered, Christ-exalting lives of worship. And I am Augustinian, so I love Piper's theology and am thrilled that he has become so popular. But I do want to provide a warning. Piper's main emphasis is (and you'll read this over and over again) "God is most ...             Treasuring God in Our Traditions10 reviews Noel Piper Crossway Books, 2007 This book was a blessing and encouragement I'm a new mom and relatively new to the marriage thing as well. As we discuss how we want to raise our family, what traditions from our own backgrounds we want to blend, and most of all, our desire to exemplify our love for God to our children, it has been easy to get overwhelmed and discouraged. Noel Piper hits the nail on the head, the truth that our children can't "inherit" Christ from us but ...             The Innkeeper2 reviews John Piper Crossway Books, 1998 A Beautiful Gift This book is a beautiful gift from John Piper. It was an advent poem written for his congregation in Minneapolis. It will touch your heart deeply and then, at the end, the gospel! I have given this book to many as a gift. Buy it for anyone you wish to bless with the gift of Jesus. The illustrations are beautiful sketches by John Lawrence. It may be given as a gift to a child with caution. ...             This Is No Fairy Tale5 reviews Dale Tolmasoff Crossway Books, 2005 An amazing book for children and adults! This is the only book that my 9 month old son will continue to pay attention throughout the entire reading. I love this book and its beautiful illustrations. I enjoy it as much for myself as for my son.             Fifty Reasons Why Jesus Came to Die4 reviews Good News Publishers/Crossway Books, 2008 Wonderful book for devotions or group study Fifty Reasons Why Jesus Came To Die has almost that many reasons why you should read it. This multi-purpose book grabs your attention from the moment you open it. Quoting from Isaiah 53, John Piper dedicates this book to Jesus Christ. Immediately demanding thought with an introduction that knocks you off your balance and sets you into God's balances, Piper opens his subject by looking at Christ ...             Gracia Venidera: El Poder Purificador de Vivir Por Fe La...1 review John Piper Vida, 2006 increible, me ha cambiado la vida Recomiendo muchisimo este libro. Aparte de la Biblia, este libro me ha impactado mas que cualquier otro. Me ha levantado y animado en mi fe en Jesucristo. Me ha hecho ver que El es el tesoro de mi vida, y cuando estoy contenta en El, ese contentamiento es el poder sobre la tentacion del pecado. Quiero compartir este libro con todos mis amigos!             The John Piper Sermon Manuscript Library CD-ROM (for Logos Bible Software)1 review John Piper Desiring God Ministries, 2007 Well worth the cost Even though every sermon manuscript in this library is available for free from DesiringGod.org (and you can purchase this software there for less money than it is currently available here), the John Piper Sermon Manuscript Library is worth the cost. 1. Available where there is no internet connection (a plus for some; neutral for others). 2. Searchable: The powerful search features of Logos ...             Think About These Things5 reviews Crossway Books, 2003 You should "THINK ABOUT THESE THINGS" Once again, after 'THE ART OF GOD' and 'THE IMAGE OF GOD,' Ric Ergenbright shows his mastery of the art of photography and his dedication to the word of the Bible. You may open any page, from those depicting the rocky coasts of New England and Italy to the far reaches of India and South America, and find inspiration. THINK ABOUT THESE THINGS can be read over and over and never will you arrive at ...             A Hunger for God: Desiring God Through Fasting and Prayer1 review John Piper Crossway, 1997 The best This is the single best contemporary work on Christian fasting I've found. Not to take away from the excellent chapter on fasting in Richard Foster's Celebration of Discipline, or any number of other shorter works, but Piper does an excellent job of laying out an approach to fasting based on a desire for God. Excellent corrective for both the "fasting is too legalistic" error and the "fasting ...             The Worlds of H. Beam Piper3 reviews H. Beam Piper, John J. McGuire Ace, 1983 Genesis of the Paratime civilization. Consists of "Time and Time Again", "The Mercenaries", "Dearest", "Hunter Patrol", "Flight From Tomorrow", "Operation RSVP", "Genesis", "The Answer", "Crossroads of Destiny", and "Day of the Moron". Provides valuable background information for the Terro-Human Future History, including the Paratime stories. "Time and Time Again" introduces Allan Hartley, who also appears in the background of "The ...             The Great Work of the Gospel: How We Experience God's Grace3 reviews John M. Ensor Crossway Books, 2006 Powerful and Cross-Centered On one of John Ensor's web sites, "Heartbeat of Miami," is a most sobering map. Showing the locations of each Miami's abortion facilities in red and ultrasound-equipped pregnancy help centers in blue, the red dots outnumber of the blue by a margin of fifteen to one. As leader of "Heartbeat of Miami," Ensor hopes within the next two years to increase the number of adequately equipped pregnancy ...             Biblical Foundations for Manhood and Womanhood (Foundations for the Family Series) (Foundations for the ...1 review Crossway Books, 2002 Not for the Liberal!
