I’ve been meaning to review this book for a while now, but haven’t gotten to it. I read this book a while ago, and these are my thoughts. John Piper makes a compelling case for how and why God is the Gospel. I found myself constantly agreeing with what he said and found nothing disagreeable in the book. The only thing I can say that I found odd, was that I found myself not having a heart reaction, which for me is a shame, because mere head knowledge is not what the Gospel should do, or at least that’s what I think. That’s not to say there’s anything wrong with the book; I think the problem is the state of my heart before God, and not what’s being presented, which I think is a dangerous place to be. What I think this book does, is dispel the notions that the Gospel is people centred, because at the end of the day, we find our being in Christ and only God is the centre of all we believe. It offers hope, even for me who has all this head knowledge–because the Gospel is about God, and His glorious ways, and because we fit into His picture–He loves us, for His glory’s sake, and that works in our favour. If you are struggling to understand how the Gospel works, or even if you are struggling to find contentment, and glorify God in all seasons, this book will make for good reading … I for one plan on reading this book again.
