Summary: A MUST READ FOR ALL CHRISTIANS!
Comment: Without a doubt John Piper is one of the strongest expositors of God's Word to come along within the last 15 years. I have read 10 of his works and let me tell you, he is doctrinally sound. But this book is the best. Period. I could not put it down. Along with Jerry Bridges "Discipline of Grace" , nothing else has made the Christian life so clear. This is where the rubber meets the road kind of stuff. If you love Jesus Christ and long to obey God but cant figure out how to stay spiritually on track...then let Piper show you the purifying power of living by faith in future grace!!

Summary: Sanctification - the Power of a Superior Pleasure
Comment: In what I would consider to be the essential John Piper "trilogy", this one should come third in reading order (with Desiring God and The Pleasures of God preceding), but the message is certainly not inferior to the other two! This God-saturated pastor delivers one of the most helpful and hopeful books on the power of sanctification that I have ever come across. He commends what Chalmers called "the expulsive power of a new affection" as the key to holiness. He shows from Scripture that gratitude is NOT to be the primary motive for the believer's pursuit of God, but rather "faith in future grace" (or "trusting in the promises of God," to use a less original phrase!). This theology is defended from Scripture, illustrated through countless anecdotes and quotes from the likes of C. H. Spurgeon, John Flavel, and Jonathan Edwards, and is applied to various sin struggles (anxiety, bitterness, coveteousness, pride, lust, etc.) - which Piper shows to be rooted in unbelief. The underlying theme of this book is that the faith that justifies also sanctifies. As you might imagine, this book is an aggressive (and needed) attack on the false concept that Jesus can be one's Saviour without also being one's Lord. I commend this book very highly - but I do warn you - it is a thinker. Read it twice. Once for familiarity and then again for saturation and meditation.

Summary: Gospel Power
Comment: To use a quote from another Piper classic "The more we trust in future grace, the more we give God the opportunity in our lives to show the glory of his inexhaustible grace. So take a promise of future grace and do some radical act of obedience on it. God will be mightily honored." Piper continues to impress me with his discertations on the benefits of glorifying God and enjoying Him forever. This book is one of a few on my shelf that I use to regularly remind me of where my hope and trust comes from!
