A God-Entranced Vision of All Things - The Legacy of Jonathan Edwards
Jonathan Edwards knew and preached the beauties of heaven as much as the
terrors of hell. He was a humble and joyful servant, striving to glorify God
in his personal life and public ministry. This book investigates the
character and teachings of the man who preached from a deep concern for the
unsaved and a passionate desire for God.

A Hunger for God
A
Hunger For God was written to help Christians understand the Biblical nature
and purpose of fasting and prayer. In this book, John Piper looks at the
phenomena of religious, political, and health-based fasting, which occur
around the world, and explains what makes Christian fasting unique. He then
discusses the reasons and ways the Bible commends fasting to us. Ultimately,
Piper asserts, fasting is a way of expressing to God that he is the supreme
hunger of our hearts—that we are starving for him.

Counted Righteous in Christ
Should We Abandon the Imputation of Christ's Righteousness? Does Christ's
life-long record of perfect obedience to God get "credited" to your account
when you trust in Christ and are "justified" by God? This has been the
historic Protestant understanding of the "imputation of Christ's
righteousness," but John Piper warns that we are in danger of losing this
doctrine today, because of attacks by scholars within the evangelical camp.
In response, Piper shows, in careful treatment of passage after passage,
that the imputation of Christ's righteousness to believers is clearly the
teaching of the Bible, and if we abandon this doctrine we will also lose
justification by faith alone. I am thankful to God for John Piper's defense
of this crucial doctrine. - Wayne Grudem, Research Professor of Theology and
Bible, Phoenix Seminary.

Don't Waste Your Life
God created us to live with a single passion: to joyfully display his
supreme excellence in all spheres of life. The wasted life is the life
without this passion. God calls us to pray and think and dream and plan and
work, not to be made much of, but to make much of him in every part of our
lives.

Desiring God: Meditations of A
Christian Hedonist
The great business of life is to glorify God by enjoying him forever.
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).

God's Passion for His Glory
In his essay, "The End for Which God Created the World," the great
theologian Jonathan Edwards proclaimed that God's ultimate end is the
manifestation of his glory in the highest happiness of his creatures. Here
John Piper passionately demonstrates the relevance of Edwards' ideals for
the personal and public life of modern evangelicals through his own
book-length introduction to Edwards' incomparable essay, and the inclusion
of that original, unabridged work. The result is a powerful and persuasive
presentation of the things that matter most in the Christian life.

Life as a Vapor
You will exist forever. You and God are both in the universe to stay either
as friends on his terms, or enemies on yours. Which it will be is proven in
this life. And this life is a vapor. Two seconds, and we will be gone.
Surely God means for our time on earth to count for something significant.
In these thirty-one meditations, John Piper will connect you to a fresh
understanding of God and a renewed relationship with him. You'll find your
faith stirred to make every day count for Christ as you consider life as a
vapor. (Note the following is excerpted from Life as a Vapor (c) 2004 by

Passion of Jesus Christ, The
Why did Christ suffer and die? The central issue of Jesus’ death is not the
cause, but the meaning—God’s meaning. That is what this book is about. John
Piper has gathered from the New Testament fifty reasons. Not fifty causes,
but fifty purposes—in answer to the most important question that each of us
must face: What did God achieve for sinners like us in sending his Son to
die?

Seeing and Savoring Jesus Christ
The new edition of Seeing and Savoring
Jesus Christ is conceived as a fitting follow up book for those who have
read The Passion of Jesus Christ. We asked: What might people, who were
introduced to Jesus with 50 reasons for his death, want to know next? Our
answer: They might want to know more about who Jesus was as a person and
teacher and Son of God. With a view to making the new edition as useful as
possible, we took the more challenging introduction about why we credit the
gospels and put that at the back. This lets the reader jump right into the
portraits of Jesus himself. The book was arranged so that it has exactly the
same number of pages as The Passion of Jesus Christ, and the same look and
feel inside. We pray that for hundreds of thousands of people who tasted the
meaning of Christ's death through The Passion of Jesus Christ, this new
inexpensive edition of Seeing and Savoring Jesus Christ will make more of
the fullness of Christ known.

Evangelical feminism has had a profound impact on the Church. In this book,
22 men and women commit their talents to produce the most thorough response
yet to evangelical feminism. The writers identify their view as
complementarian rather than "traditional" or "hierarchical." The book
combines systematic argumentation with popular application and deals with
all the main passages of Scripture brought forward in this controversy. An
important and informative book for those concerned with the fundamental
questions of the relationship between men and women in home, church and
society.
When I Don't Desire God
What do you do when you discover that
you're not satisfied in God the way he wants you to be? Joy is more than an
afterthought of the Christian life; it is the sustaining fruit of a
relationship with God. With a radical passion for Christ's glory, John Piper
helps you find the joy God wants you to have.
