Why I Love the Apostle Paul by John Piper

Here is the book summary:

“Besides Jesus, no one has kept me from despair, or taken me deeper into the mysteries of the gospel, than the apostle Paul.” —John Piper

No 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.

And now, my review:
Why I Love the Apostle Paul by John Piper was to me a thought-provoking book.  I just loved it.  He breaks his thoughts on the matter up into 30 reasons of why he loves Paul and how these truths minister to him as he faces life.  To follow his train of thought, to me, was quite a trip.  I found myself nodding my head yes as I read.  Piper speaks of why Paul is SO crucial to consider and reflect on for the Christian faith.  One of the things I’ve always loved most of Piper’s writing and speaking is that he uses Scripture all the time and that’s definitely the case in this book as well.  It’s full of Truth.  This would be a great 30-day devotional in my opinion.

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