Where Christ Has Not Been Named
With the recent re-release of John Piper's major work on sanctification, Future Grace, the three foundational pillars of his thinking about God and the Christian life are now in complementary covers and size. This attractive set carries the fundamental freight of Piper's vision of God and makes a great gift to introduce a friend to John Piper's thinking. It's also ideal for anyone who loves this vision of God and would like to have the most up-to-date editions of these three classic books.
In this 9-part sermon series from 1983, which gave birth three years later to the book Desiring God (Multnomah Press, 1986; 2nd ed. 1996), John Piper argues that the great business of life is to glorify God by enjoying him forever. The discord between duty and delight doesn't exist: delight is our duty. Piper stuns us again and again with things we saw in the Bible, but never dared to believe. Join him on this dangerous quest for maximum joy in God. But beware, it may cost you your life. Never mind - 'the steadfast love of the Lord is better than life' (Psalm 63:3).
