Excellent book! I've been reading it this Lenten season in the predawn when I do Bible meditation. It's been a blessing in helping me to see and savor Jesus the Christ. ( )

The healing of the soul begins by restoring the glory of God to its flaming, all-attractive place at the center (of our soul). (p.15)

There is no one who doubts there is something that needs healing in the human soul.

But the proposed cures are many, even in Christianity.

The fact that American Christians are largely just as dysfunctional as unbelievers is testimony that we largely haven't gotten the cure of the soul right.

To overuse a cliche', maybe we haven't kept the main thing the main thing.

The main thing is Jesus Christ. God created our souls to see and savor the glory of His Son.

That is what John Piper helps us to do in Seeing & Savoring Jesus Christ. In 124 pages Piper gives us portraits of Christ's deity, His power, His wisdom, His sacrifice, His mercy. Unbelievers will be confronted with the truth and the beauty of who Jesus is. Believers will get to lovingly gaze at their Savior.

Seeing & Savoring Jesus Christ is a wonderful book for personal devotions, group study, and outreach. ( )

This is a great book. The style of this book is typical of Piper's works. Very vivid and very Biblical. I really found the prayers that occur after every chapter to be great! It helps readers remind that while this book is for reading, it is even more so intended for a practical application to the Christian life. This is a great book to give to a seeking friend! ( )
