Why I Love the Apostle Paul: 30 Reasons - John Piper

Descriere Why I Love the Apostle Paul: 30 Reasons - John Piper

A bestselling author and popular pastor reflects on the ministry of Paul, famous persecutor-turned-missionary, drawing on the six decades he has spent getting to know Paul through the New Testament, which records his conversion, missionary journeys, and 13 letters he penned to churches throughout the ancient world. \n \nBesides Jesus, no one has kept me from despair, or taken me deeper into the mysteries of the gospel, than the apostle Paul.\n \n --John Piper\n \nNo one has had a greater impact on the world for eternal good than the apostle Paul--except Jesus himself. For John Piper, this impact is very personal. He does not just admire and trust Paul. He loves him. Piper gives us thirty glimpses into why his heart and mind respond this way.\n \nCan a Christian-killer really endure 195 lashes from a heart of love? Can a mystic who thinks he was caught up into heaven be a model of lucid rationality? Can an ethnocentric Jew write the most beautiful call to reconciliation? Can a person who lives with the unceasing anguish of empathy be always rejoicing? Can a man's description of the horrors of human sin be exceeded by his delight in human splendor? Can a man with a backbone of steel be as tender as a nursing mother?\n \nIf we know this man--if we see what Piper sees--we too will love him. Paul's testimony is a matter of life and death. Piper invites you into his relationship with Paul in the hope that you will know life, forever.\n
