Spectacular Sins: And Their Global Purpose in the Glory of Christ (Hardcover)

John Piper delivers powerful biblical reassurances tobolster readers' trust in the sovereignty of God and the supremacyof Christ when evil and tragedy come.

If God governs the sinful acts of men, then does the devastationcaused by those terrorists, dictators, murderers, cheats, andabusers discredit Jesus' words: "All authority in heaven and earthbelongs to me"? When heart-rending news comes of the latestaccident, illness, or natural disaster, can we really believe thatin Jesus, "all things hold together"?

Though God has not answered all of our questions about sin andsuffering, there are things he wants us to know, things he declaresin his Word-such as what's at stake in the "spectacular" sins ofothers and the horrible tragedies of this life; their globalpurpose, both historically and today; and what these events say tous personally.

As John Piper works through these biblical truths, this bookwill bolster readers' trust in the utter sovereignty of God suchthat they'll be less timid in their witness and less afraid ofwhatever may come. It is also a joy-infused declaration thatbecause everything occurs through Christ and for Christ and hisglory, they are forever secure in him.
