In Reading the Bible Supernaturally, best-selling author John Piper teaches us how to read the Bible in light of its divine author.

Story
From Genesis to Revelation, the providence of God directs the entire course of redemptive history. Providence is “God’s purposeful sovereignty”. Its extent reaches down to the flight of electrons, up to the movements of galaxies, and into the heart of man. Its nature is wise and just and good. And its goal is the Christ-exalting glorification of God through the gladness of a redeemed people in a new world.

There is an appetite for God. And it can be awakened. I invite you to turn from the dulling effects of food and the dangers of idolatry, and to say with some simple fast: "This much, O God, I want you."Our appetites dictate the direction of our lives - whether it be the cravings of our stomachs, the passionate desire for possessions or power, or the longings of our spirits for God.

Fear is one of the strongest human emotions — and one that often baffles Christians. In the Bible the picture can seem equally confusing: Is fear a good thing or a bad thing? And what does it mean to “fear the Lord”? In this audiobook, Michael Reeves clears the clouds of confusion and shows that the fear of the Lord is not a negative thing at all, but an intensely delighted wondering at God, our creator and redeemer.

God’s love has the power to change lives. Christians, then, should exhibit the greatest transformation of all because, rightly understood and cherished, God’s love makes them increasingly more like the One who has lavished his love on them. So why do we so often struggle to exhibit God’s love? Biblical counselor Elyse M. Fitzpatrick asks one simple question: "In your pursuit of godliness, have you left Jesus behind?"

Summary
Turn your world on its head.
For more than 30 years, John Piper pastored in the rough-and-tumble realities of downtown Minneapolis, preaching his people through the ups and down of life one Sunday at a time. When it came to capturing a generation of joy in one final sermon series, he turned to 10 trademark truths to leave ringing in his peoples’ ears.
These 10 are world-shaking truths - each astonishing in its own way. First, they turned Piper’s own world upside down, then his church’s, and they will continue to turn the whole world upside down as the gospel of Christ advances in distance and depth. These surprising doctrines, as Piper writes, are “wildly untamable, explosively uncontainable, and electrically future-creating”.
Join a veteran author, pastor, and Christian leader as he captures the 10 astonishing, compassionate, life-giving, joy-awakening, hope-sustaining truths that have held everything together for him. This audiobook is a revised edition of the earlier title Doctrine Matters.

An interesting book but poorly read
John Piper is a very interesting preacher and recordings of his sermons are available and are fascinating to listen to.
Unfortunately Facebook is poorly red in my opinion. It is read far too fast and without sufficient time to fully appreciate what is being put forward.

Worth listening to again
I enjoyed this book but in some way they all ran into each other. Maybe it was me but I would have liked a clearer reminder of the focus of each chapter. If these truths are so radical they need to be also really clear. I have listened to it twice and need to try again.
