Irresistible Grace

By Thriftbooks.com User, October 11, 2004

I first saw this book reviewed in the early 1990's. It aroused a double response of curiosity and suspicion. Like many a cynic I asked myself, "Now who's this guy and what's he spinning?" Against my natural inclination to dismiss it, I ordered POG. On receiving it I began reading and found my suspicions confirmed: here was another triumphal and insensitive adherent to the doctrine of the sovereignty of God. Strangely, however,...

Read this One! One of the Best Christian Books Written

By Thriftbooks.com User, August 23, 2003

The Pleasures of God is by far one of the great books of our generation. John Piper is not only a clear and easy to follow theologian, he has a zeal and enthusiasm for the Person of God that is contagious. The genre of this book is hard to peg. Its theology runs deep - very deep, yet it is at the same time devotional; it stretches the intellect but cuts straight to the heart. Piper's style is truly unique. His convictions...

Journey Into God's Heart

By Thriftbooks.com User, August 14, 2000

Amazing, the type of people wearing "WWJD" bracelets. Piper's premise is that you can't figure out WhatJesusWouldDo until you know WhatGodLoves. This is a PHENOMENAL book to be read with pen in hand. I've read every book that Dr. Piper has written (true confessions, I put down "God'sPassion..." for now - am I the only one? Thank you - I see that hand) and found this to be the PINNACLE. Not easy reading, but "raking...

Surprised by God: infinitely more delightful than imagined!

By Thriftbooks.com User, August 10, 1999

I have to admit, when I first read this book, I wanted to throw it across the room. But earnestly searching scriptures (with the intent to prove the book wrong), I was forced to unhappily conclude that Piper was completely on the ball. Then the most amazing thing happened: as I reread the book with a heart of faith, my disturbed state of mind gave way to a liberating joy in the good news of the sovereign God who is infinitely...

Theology and passion become one

By Thriftbooks.com User, July 29, 1998

I have read practically all of Piper's books, including his classic Desiring God, and the Pleasures of God outranks all of them. Piper manages to accomplish something that very few theologians can: mesh theology and joyful devotion to God. Theology to Piper is by no means an end in itself; it is meant to direct God's people towards him with deeper understanding of his character. Piper is humble and yet strongly convicted...
