Review Comments

John Piper’s Future Grace is a transformative invitation to live each day fueled by the unshakable promises of God. Piper masterfully highlights grace, not only as God’s past work in saving us but as His future provision that empowers our daily walk with Him. This perspective breathes fresh hope into the Christian life, showing how faith in God's promises transforms our fight against sin and frees us to joyfully obey. Piper dismantles the chains of legalism and guilt by showing how the promises of God liberate believers to obey out of trust and delight rather than duty. His writing is rich with Scripture and saturated with love for Christ, making theological truths deeply personal. He urges readers to treasure God as the ultimate source of satisfaction, casting aside fleeting pleasures and self-reliance. His insights on how future grace combats fear, bitterness, and temptation are both convicting and liberating. This book is more than an intellectual exercise—it is a devotional journey that stirs the heart to trust God more fully. Piper’s passionate call to live in the power of future grace is both inspiring and practical, leaving readers equipped to walk in faith and joy. Future Grace is a spiritual feast, reminding us that the God who has been faithful will continue to sustain us, now and forever.

Publisher's Description

In this revision of a foundational work, John Piper reveals how grace is not only God’s undeserved gift to us in the past, but also God’s power to make good happen for us today, tomorrow, and forever. True life for the follower of Jesus really is a moment-by-moment trust that God is dependable and fulfills his promises. This is living by faith in future grace, which provides God's mercy, provision, and wisdom—everything we need—to accomplish his good plans for us. In Future Grace, chapter by chapter—one for each day of the month—Piper reveals how cherishing the promises of God helps break the power of persistent sin issues like anxiety, despondency, greed, lust, bitterness, impatience, pride, misplaced shame, and more. Ultimate joy, peace, and hope in life and death are found in a confident, continual awareness of the reality of future grace.

Endorsements

"Pastor Piper’s purpose in writing is to revitalize a decadent American Christianity that knows only cheap grace and cheap faith. Bible-soaked, God-intoxicated, deeply evangelical, and passionately humane, Piper fills the forgotten dimensions of faith—hope and contentment, stability and sanctity, prizing and praising God—with a master hand. This is a rich and wise book, one to treasure and reread."
J.I. Packer

“Few books have sharpened my theological thinking, opened my exegetical eyes, and so consistently fed my soul as this one. Of all of John Piper’s ‘big books,’ Future Grace has had the biggest impact on my life and ministry.”
Kevin DeYoung

“In Future Grace John Piper encourages believers to understand the present struggles of the Christian life in terms of the surpassing grace of God in Christ—a grace that calls us to exult in God’s future work in us, even as we experience God’s present grace and rest in the assurance of God’s grace to us in the past. In this new edition, Piper serves the church by showing us a mind at work as he wrestles with some of the most crucial issues of the Christian life. This book is deeply biblical, passionately practical, and Christ-centered.”
