About this audiobook
God has provided a way for all people, not just scholars, to know that the Bible is the Word of God. John Piper has devoted his life to showing us that the glory of God is object of the soul's happiness. Now, his burden in this book is to demonstrate that this same glory is the ground of the mind's certainty. God's peculiar glory shines through his Word. The Spirit of God enlightens the eyes of our hearts. And in one self-authenticating sight, our minds are sure and our hearts are satisfied. Justified certainty and solid joy meet in the peculiar glory of God.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5First of all, I love John Piper.
I'm afraid he's saying the same thing in all of his books. I don't recommend this to someone who has read at least one of Piper's book. Piper repeats the same thing over and over again in each chapter. I think, he should have finished it in 60 pages rather 200
His paragraph on, grasping a new reality in our Life made me think deeper. However, I wouldn't be able to thump that as something to share with someone. It goes into mysticism. He did make good thoughts about people who do not have time to read Scholarly textbooks.
Overall, he failed to establish what he intended to do.
Not worth the $ and time,
better watch his sermon.
