Supremacy of God in Preaching, The
John Piper's burden is to "plead for the supremacy of God in preaching — that the . . . grand object of preaching be the infinite and inexhaustible being of God." Then when preaching takes up the ordinary things of life, they are taken all the way up into God. Part 1 examines why God should be supreme in preaching. Part 2 uses the life of Jonathan Edwa… Read more…
The Justification of God (2nd Ed.)
Originally published in 1983, The Justification of God is a study that attempts to understand how Paul defends the righteousness of God in Romans 9:1-23.

Author John Piper … Read more…
Jesus, the Only Way to God
Is Jesus still the only way? If the church was ever too confrontational in its evangelism, those days are gone. In our shrinking, pluralistic world, the belief that Jesus is the only way of salvation is increasingly called arrogant and even hateful. In the face of this criticism, many shrink back from affirming the global necessity of knowing and believin… Read more…
This Momentary Marriage
In This Momentary Marriage, John Piper exalts the biblical meaning of marriage over its emotion, exhorting couples to keep their covenant for all the best reasons.

That is all the m… Read more…

Focusing on the life of the mind will enable y… Read more…

When I Don't Desire God
Joy should be a hallmark of a Christian, but, as John Piper notes in the eBook When I Don't Desire God, we do not always have that joy and we do not always desire God nor are we always satisfied with Him alone.

Suffering and the Sovereignty of God
In the last few years, 9/11, a tsunami, Hurricane Katrina, and many other tragedies have shown us that the vision of God in today's churches in relation to evil and suffering is often frivolous.

Finally Alive: What Happens When We Are Born Again
When Jesus said to Nicodemus, 'You must be born again', the devout and learned religious leader was unsure what Jesus meant. It would seem nothing has changed.

The term 'born again' has been devalued both in… Read more…
