Pastor John Piper is intent on demonstrating the glory of Christ through the person of Christ, so that, with Scripture and insight, everyday people may understand the deity, power and wisdom of Jesus. Piper details the anguish, desecration and severity of Jesus, as well as His excellence, gladness and mercy. This small but powerful volume can awaken believers to the greatness and glory of Christ, and can sweeten any Christian's view of the Lord's character so that when we see Him in all His glory, we will not be able to walk away without being moved.
