![]() ![]() I would suggest the Kindle version of Providence for notes, transport, and safety reasons. ![]() Broken up into 3 parts, 9 sections, and a good number of headings within the pages (and also a good-sized font), this is a surprisingly quicker read than one would suspect. While some may be intimidated by an almost 800-page book, the structure of it is perfectly laid out. The first thing I have to talk about is the length of Providence by John Piper. ![]() Piper invites us to experience the profound effects of knowing the God of all-pervasive providence: the intensifying of true worship, the solidifying of wavering conviction, the strengthening of embattled faith, the toughening of joyful courage, and the advance of God’s mission in this world. And its goal is the Christ-exalting glorification of God through the gladness of a redeemed people in a new world.ĭrawing on a lifetime of theological reflection, biblical study, and practical ministry, pastor and author John Piper leads us on a stunning tour of the sightings of God’s providence–from Genesis to Revelation–to discover the all-encompassing reality of God’s purposeful sovereignty over all of creation and all of history. Providence is “God’s purposeful sovereignty.” Its extent reaches down to the flight of electrons, up to the movements of galaxies, and into the heart of man. From Genesis to Revelation, the providence of God directs the entire course of redemptive history. ![]()
