Reading the Bible Supernaturally by John Piper

Reading the Bible Supernaturally: Seeing and Savoring the Glory of God in Scripture by [Piper, John]

















Here is the book summary:

Does it take a miracle to read the Bible?

God wrote a book, and its pages are full of his glory. But we cannot see his beauty on our own, with mere human eyes.

In Reading the Bible Supernaturally, John Piper aims to show us how God works through his written Word when we pursue the natural act of reading the Bible, so that we experience his sightgiving power—a power that extends beyond the words on the page.

Ultimately, Piper shows us that in the seemingly ordinary act of reading the Bible, something miraculous happens: we are given eyes to behold the glory of the living God.


And now, my review:
GLORY… What an awe-inspiring, breathtaking, indescribable thing…  And yet John Piper does a great job of guiding and directing in this written work of his to steer us to how God is showing us this throughout Scripture.  We need to be praying for God Almighty to be giving us eyes to see and ears to hear as we are diving deep into His Word, the Written Word of God.  John Piper sets the thought and then unpacks it as we works through his book.  Lots of Scripture references backing up what he is saying.  And once you are finished reading you can’t help but see His glory and the purpose of it all over the place, for His Glory!  I highly recommend this read!

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
