Story
In this revision of a foundational work, John Piper reveals how grace is not only God’s undeserved gift to us in the past, but also God’s power to make good happen for us today, tomorrow, and forever. True life for the follower of Jesus really is a moment-by-moment trust that God is dependable and fulfills his promises. This is living by faith in future grace, which provides God's mercy, provision, and wisdom - everything we need - to accomplish his good plans for us. In Future Grace, chapter by chapter - one for each day of the month - Piper reveals how cherishing the promises of God helps break the power of persistent sin issues.

Story
The issue of idolatry has been with the human race for thousands of years; the subtle temptation is always to take what is good and turn it into the ultimate good, elevating it above all other things in the search for security and meaning. In this timely and challenging book, New York pastor Timothy Keller looks at the issue of idolatry throughout the Bible - from the worship of actual idols in the Old Testament, to the idolatry of money by the rich young ruler when he was challenged by Jesus to give up all his wealth.

Story
Can't anyone teach me how to pray?"" Millions of people today are asking the same question. There is a sense of the necessity of prayer - we have to pray. But how?' Prayer is central to Christian faith; indeed, as Timothy Keller notes in his introduction, it is the main way we experience deep change. Yet so many people struggle with prayer - a struggle that the author himself has shared. This wise and inspiring book is the fruit of those struggles, offering a real and glorious vision of what it can mean to seek God in prayer.

What can the call to discipleship, the adherence to the word of Jesus, mean today to the businessman, the soldier, the laborer, or the aristocrat? What did Jesus mean to say to us? What is his will for us today? Drawing on the Sermon on the Mount, Dietrich Bonhoeffer answers these timeless questions by providing a seminal reading of the dichotomy between "cheap grace" and "costly grace."

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.

Reflecting on 40 years of matrimony, John Piper exalts the biblical meaning of marriage over its emotion, exhorting couples to keep their covenant for all the best reasons. Even in the days when people commonly stayed married "'til death do us part," there has never been a generation whose view of marriage was high enough, says Pastor John Piper. That is all the more true in our casual times.

Story
At the hidden center of man's being is the dwelling place of the triune God. It is such a private, intimate place that no one can intrude but Christ, and even he will enter only through an invitation of faith. Once the Spirit enters the core of the believer's heart and establishes residence there, man becomes a true child of God. But baptism, confirmation, receiving the sacraments, church membership, etc., mean nothing unless God has truly inhabited the soul.

Real, Relevant and A Must Read.
- By Marty Clare on 27-02-20
Summary
The Bible reveals glorious things. And yet we often miss its power because we read it the same way we read any other book. In Reading the Bible Supernaturally, best-selling author John Piper teaches us how to read the Bible in light of its divine author. In doing so, he highlights the Bible's unique ability to reveal God to humanity in a way that informs our minds, transforms our hearts, and ignites our love.
With insights into the biblical text drawn from decades of experience studying, preaching, and teaching scripture, Piper helps us experience the transformative power of God's word - a power that extends beyond the mere words. Ultimately, Piper shows us that in the seemingly ordinary act of reading the Bible, something supernatural happens: we encounter the living God.

Book was great, narrator was mediocre
The book was another masterpiece by John Piper. However, the person the had reading the book in the audiobook formatting was mediocre. He did not convey emotion, and Piper is a very emotive pastor and writer, so the narrator did a disservice to the book, to Piper, and to the listener.

I say deep breath because one, it was incredible hearing Piper dig into how he's come to reading the Bible, two, there's so much more to learn, and three, it's going to be a long journey to read and study this book over and over again.

Love Piper, not this narration
When they made this audio recording they decided it necessary to read every citation, which being a book about the bible are many. It made it too much of a chore to follow the content, never even made it through chapter one.

Top Five Recommendation for Counseling
One of my favorite verses in the past year has been 2 Corinthians 3:18. "And we all with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord are being transformed into the same image..." Piper points back to this verse time and again in this book on how to read the Bible supernaturally. As we read, we ought to be beholding God's glory so that He can supernaturally transform us more and more into the image of His Son. This brings joy and victory in so many areas of our life. To any counselor I train just as to any believer I encounter, this book will be a top recommendation because understanding how to read the Bible is crucial to our transformation in godliness. God's Word is to be treasured as a collection of jewels whereby we learn to better see Jesus, and in turn, experience the joy of His presence and power.
The audio version is very well done. I enjoyed the narrator a little more than the prequel book, though both are still enjoyable to listen to. I enjoyed the prequel, but found this one more to the message I desired to learn. Piper has blessed me so much with the spiritual gift God has given him for teaching, and this is one of the prime examples of this.

Not What I Hoped For/Expected
The book, in the three chapters I listened to, failed to do what I felt its title described: discuss the supernatural with connection to the Bible... in any form. I love apologetics, and this was more what this book was. Incredibly disappointed. I actually want my money back.
