Strong Meat for Meditation
These short meditations were originally written for Piper's church monthly magazine. The church is Bethlehem Baptist in Minneapolis, Minnesota: what else could you call the magazine but The Star?

This is not your ordinary book of meditations: it includes reflections on the wrath of God as well as the love of God, and musings on subjects as varied as "Enduring the Pain of a Flawed Marriage" and "The Power of Books and How To Read Them."

Several of the short pieces tell the story of a great Christian. This is one of Piper's best gifts to the church. He has a wonderful way of telling a story and pointing us to Jesus.

Don't be put off by some of the subjects. Some of them may irk us, but these jabs may be used by God to make us better people, as we reflect on them.

Highly recommended.
