Stock Up on Piper
Filed Under Books
I have a short list of authors, dead and living, who have been most influential to me in my growth as a Christian. Near the top of that list is John Piper. Dr. Piper is the pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis, MN. He is also an accomplished author and theologian. What most marks Piper is his incessant proclamation that God’s glory and our enjoyment of God are inseparably connected. It is a good thing that he articulates this bedrock of Christian truth so often because we need to hear it until it works its way deep into our souls.
All this to say, if you haven’t read any of John Piper’s works, you are doing your soul a disservice. If this is true about you, do not worry, you have a chance to make amends. Next week, on Wednesday and Thursday (June 27-28), all of the books that Piper has written will be selling for $5 each at the Desiring God Online Book Store. That’s right, each and every book will be priced at only $5. For most of his works, this is a discount of at least 75%. Don’t miss out on this excellent opportunity to stock up on the best of Piper. Books, also make great gifts. Why not buy some Christmas or birthday gifts now?
If you are wondering which Piper books I suggest, the easy answer is: all of them. But if you have to choose, these are the ones that have been most influential to me:
- Desiring God - The book that started it all. A must own and read!
- Let the Nations Be Glad - How the enjoyment of God is the motivation to missions
- The Swans are not Silent: Volume 1 - The short biographies of Augustine, Luther, and Calvin
- The Swans are not Silent: Volume 2 - The short biographies of Newton, Simeon, and Wilberforce
- The Swans are not Silent: Volume 3 - The short biographies of Bunyan, Cowper, and Brainerd
- The Swans are not Silent: Volume 4 - The short biographies of Athanasius, Owen, and Machen
Tolle lege!
