Synopsis

“Besides Jesus, no one has kept me from despair, or taken me deeper into the mysteries of the gospel, than the apostle Paul.” ―John PiperNo 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.Can 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?If 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.

Goodreads review by Dr. David on February 09, 2019

The aim of John Piper’s most recent book is to help readers get to know Paul the apostle. Piper’s motive is that Paul’s “God-entranced soul and his unparalleled vision of Jesus Christ and the authenticity of his life would move you to admire him and believe his message and embrace his Lord.” The name......more

I usually don't start a review with the narrator, but ahhhh...here, finally, is a fellow who actually works reading Piper! Affect, people, affect! That's what's been wanting in every other Piper title I've listened to, and Michael Beck brings it. God bless him and the people who hired him! I love the......more

Goodreads review by Jonathan on May 31, 2022

John Piper has been a spiritual mentor for me for years. And I own and read every book he writes. He blesses me immensely. And when he writes a book about who has influenced him of course I am going to read it. I had a member of my church who struggled with the Apostle Paul so I dug this book out an......more
