Despite the fact that Piper, the main protagonist, is deaf, she never gives up on what she believes in. The novel mainly focuses on the problems that a deaf Piper faces while trying to manage a rock band. Not only does the story project her problem dealing with the band, Dumb, but it also shows the

This article by John Piper helped me to refocus on what matters most in the wake of the Supreme Court decision on some-sex marriage. I pray that it's some help to you too. So-Called Same-Sex Marriage: Lamenting the New Calamity by John Piper Jesus died so that heterosexual and homosexual sinners might be saved. Jesus created sexuality, and has a clear will for how it is to be experienced in holiness and joy. His will is that a man might leave

Imagery and symbolism is used in both poems with the color green which associates with growth, fertility and spring. (Represent places of play and freedom) Also, in the Innocence poem, imagery is used when

Moreover, “God meant it for Good” to Piper means as Christians one must move beyond the human cause to the divine purpose in life. Yes, people wanted Jesus out of the way, but only God can design the good in the world. Therefore, what the enemy used for bad in this case, God used it for one’s salvation.

intelligible message. In Let the Nations Be Glad!, John Piper makes a superb showing task of treating a few significant points identified with missions and the explanation behind missions in today's self-serving, postmodern world. He tackles head on with numerous diverse incorrect musings and convictions identified with missions and he gives a brief scriptural reply to each of them.

For my book report I read “Don’t Waste your Life” by John Piper. The book, just like the title makes it out to be, explains in great detail Piper’s ultimate fear in life was that he would waste it. A sermon really touched his heart and that day he made a goal to have a life that mattered and made a difference for the Kingdom.
