II CORINTHIANS 4:8-10: WHY I LOVE THE APOSTLE PAUL 30 REASONS BY JOHN PIPER

                 

8 We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; 10 always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. (2 Corinthians 4:8–10 ESV)

           I bought the book by John Piper: “Why I love the Apostle Paul: 30 Reasons”. Here is the description:

Why I Love the Apostle Paul 30 Reasons

by John Piper

No person other than Jesus Christ himself has had a greater impact on John Piper’s life than the apostle Paul. In this book, Piper reflects on the ministry of this famous persecutor-turned-missionary, drawing on the six decades he has spent getting to know Paul through the New Testament, which records his conversion, missionary journeys, and thirteen letters he penned to churches throughout the ancient world.

Offering readers 30 reasons why Piper loves the apostle Paul, this book of short meditations on the wonder of the gospel, perseverance through suffering, love for unbelievers, and God’s work through weakness will encourage readers to imitate Paul’s example of unwavering confidence in God’s grace and love toward others.

“My hope and prayer is that the apostle Paul’s God-entranced soul, and his unparalleled vision of Jesus Christ, and the authenticity of his life would move you to admire him and believe his message and embrace his Lord.”
