Pastor John Piper has devoted his years of ministry to exploring the implications of this stunning truth for life and ministry. Understanding that God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him has made all the difference for John Piper — and can transform your life as well.

Endorsements
[Edwards] speaks with an insight into science and psychology so much ahead of his time that our own can hardly be said to have caught up with him.
Perry Miller, Former Harvard Historian
The disappearance of Edwards’s [God-entranced] perspective in American Christian history has been a tragedy.
Mark Noll, Professor, University of Notre Dame
[Edwards] was a man who put faithfulness to the Word of God before every other consideration.
Iain Murray, Founder, Banner of Truth
The western church . . . much of it drifting, enculturated, and infected with cheap grace . . . desperately needs to hear Edwards’s challenge.
Charles Colson, Prison Fellowship and the Colson Center for Christian Worldview
One of the most holy, humble and heavenly minded men that the world has seen since the apostolic age.
Ashbel Green, Former President of the College of New Jersey
Edwards’s book, The End for Which God Created the World [is] . . . unsurpassed in terms of its theological grandeur.
David Brand, Edwards Scholar
One studies the time and backgrounds of some men in order to understand them. Others have such rare greatness that one studies them in order to understand their times. . . . Jonathan Edwards was such an original.
Paul Ramsey, Editor of Edwards’s ethical writings in the Yale critical edition

The Heart of the Reformation: 90 Day Devotional on the Five Solas
$12.00Sometimes one word is all that stands between the truth and a lie, between life and death. In the Reformation, that word was sola, “alone.” At a time when leaders in the church claimed to speak for God, the Protestant Reformers reminded God’s people that Scripture alone is our infallible authority. While many people sought to work their way to heaven, the Reformers boldly proclaimed the only true gospel: salvation is by God’s grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, to the glory of God alone.

Hebrews (John Brown)
$32.00Commentaries generally belong to one of two categories. Either they aim at a devotional thoroughness which lays no great emphasis on the exact meaning of individual words, or they concentrate on such a detailed examination of the text that the spirit and power of the book is largely lost. Among the few commentators who stand between these two positions is Dr. John Brown of Edinburgh (1784-1858).
By seeking to develop a style of exposition that was both edifying to his congregation and valuable to his divinity students, he produced commentaries which, in the words of Dr. William Cunningham, ‘formed a marked era in the history of Scriptural Interpretation’. Not behind the foremost contemporary scholars in his emphasis on correct exegesis, he nevertheless sought not only that the minds of his readers might be brought ‘into immediate contact with the mind of the Spirit’ but that their whole being might be resigned to ‘the empire of the Word of God’.

Romans (Robert Haldane)
$34.00‘Dr. Chalmers styled this “a well-built commentary”, and strongly recommended it to students of theology. In his “Sabbath Readings” he writes: “I am reading Haldane’s Exposition of the Epistle to the Romans, and find it solid and congenial food.”‘ — C. H. Spurgeon
Robert Haldane’s Exposition of Romans, both in its contents and in the power of its influence, stands among the foremost of the many treatments of the epistle. As a commentary, Thomas Chalmers ‘strongly recommended’ it; Spurgeon put it in the front rank, and more recently, Martyn Lloyd-Jones owed ‘much profit and pleasure’ to it, characterizing its contents as unsurpassed in ‘warmth of spirit’ and ‘practical application’.
