"Pastor Piper's purpose in writing is to revitalize a decadent American Christianity that knows only cheap grace and cheap faith. Bible-soaked, God-intoxicated, deeply evangelical, and passionately humane, Piper fills the forgotten dimensions of faith--hope and contentment, stability and sanctity, prizing and praising God--with a master hand. This is a rich and wise book, one to treasure and reread." --J. I. Packer, Late Board of Governors' Professor of Theology, Regent College "Few books have so sharpened my theological thinking, opened my exegetical eyes, and consistently fed my soul as this one. Of all of John Piper's 'big books,' Future Grace has had the biggest impact on my life and ministry." --Kevin DeYoung,Senior Pastor, Christ Covenant Church, Matthews, North Carolina "I am pleased to commend this newly revised edition of Future Grace for your thoughtful consideration.
Read humbly, for the nourishing of your faith in and obedience to Jesus Christ. And read hopefully. In the here and now, you walk through many dangers, toils, and snares. But in the mercies of Christ, your here and now is decisively altered by the certainty of grace already accomplished, and by the sure hope calling you into a future when you shall see his face. So read happily, for indeed all shall be well." --David Powlison, Late Executive Director, Christian Counseling Educational Foundation "There have been two or three books outside of the Bible that have profoundly shaped how I see and understand my relationship with God. When I first read Future Grace in the summer of 1999, it sent my head spinning and my heart soaring. I couldn't be more excited about this revision.
