The glory of God and the self-authenticating nature of Scripture

First of all, I love John Piper.

I'm afraid he's saying the same thing in all of his books. I don't recommend this to someone who has read at least one of Piper's book. Piper repeats the same thing over and over again in each chapter. I think, he should have finished it in 60 pages rather 200

His paragraph on, grasping a new reality in our Life made me think deeper. However, I wouldn't be able to thump that as something to share with someone. It goes into mysticism. He did make good thoughts about people who do not have time to read Scholarly textbooks.

Overall, he failed to establish what he intended to do.
Not worth the $ and time,
better watch his sermon. ( )
