![]() ![]() Piper goes to great lengths to show there is no area of life that the Providence of God doesn’t touch. He is thorough and he rests on the only book that has true authority-the Bible. You may disagree with his conclusions, but to do so, you will have to show it from Scripture. Piper’s clear authority is the Word of God. This is necessary for the topic he’s presenting. Piper takes us to the Bible to prove his points over and over again. John Piper’s God is huge and he’s a joy to behold. I love reading Piper because his writing has a way of making me marvel at the grandeur of God that most other authors don’t seem to accomplish. Certainly it wouldn’t be as thorough, but you get a lot of Piper content from other books in this book and I don’t think that’s a bad thing. If you want to read one book and feel like you’ve read almost all of them, then read Providence. I’ve not read every John Piper book, but I’ve read quite a few. I won’t waste your time restating the whole book and giving you a ton of quotes in this review. If you could only read one John Piper book, should it be Providence? Is it his most important work? In it, he has written 711 pages about the providence of God-a term that he admits isn’t in the Bible, but takes great pains to define as prove scripturally. ![]() ![]() John Piper has written a lot of books, but he declares Providence to be his magnum opus. ![]()
