Future Grace

The Purifying Power of the Promises of God
John Piper
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.

The Pleasures of God

Meditations on God's Delight in Being God
John Piper
The author of Desiring God reveals the biblical evidence to help us see and savor what the pleasures of God show us about Him. Includes a study guide for individual and small-group use. Isn’t it true—we really don’t know someone until we understand what makes that person happy? And so it is with God! What does bring delight to the happiest Being in the universe? John Piper writes, that it’s only when we know what makes God glad that we’ll know the greatness of His glory. Therefore, we must comprehend “the pleasures of God.” Unlike so much of what is written today, this is not a book about us. It is about the One we were made for—God Himself. In this theological masterpiece—chosen by World Magazine as one of the 20th Century’s top 100 books, John Piper reveals the biblical evidence to help us see and savor what the pleasures of God show us about Him. Then we will be able to drink deeply—and satisfyingly—from the only well that offers living water. What followers of Jesus need now, more than anything else, is to know and love—behold and embrace—the great, glorious, sovereign, happy God of the Bible. “This is a unique and precious book that everybody should read more than once.” —J.I.
