God Is the Gospel: Meditations on God's Love As the Gift of Himself Audiobook

" "The final good that makes the Good News good is God" John Piper. A message well preached. "

" The gospel is God Himself. Simple enough. But the struggle really happens when we keep substituting other things for the gospel! Other things: eternal life, justification, salvation, gifts other than God that are ours to enjoy when we receive the Savior, our own passion for lost souls being saved because of our witness... you get the idea. God is the Gospel disabuse us from all these misconceptions of the central Christian message. "

" So far, out of this world. "

" I talk about gospel-centeredness all the time...this Piper book helped correct and magnify my understanding of exactly what's good news about the gospel: the gift of God Himself. "

" Overall it was just ok but there were a couple of sections that were most excellent! "

" Awesome reminder that God is the Gospel and we get to see Him in heaven. "

" Helped me really "get" the gospel. "

" A very deep book but with much truth and meaning. "

" The message of this book is incredibly relevant to American churches. That God Himself is the good news continues to convict me as I wander away to other things. "

" Great book. Highly suggested. It points Christians to see that GOD is the center of the Gospel and it is all about Him, not us. "

" Better than "Desiring God," in my opinion. Minimizes the confusion over the term "Christian Hedonist," and dwells instead on God's glory and joy in granting to us our own greatest pleasure: Himself. "

" This book stresses the fact that the purpose of the gospel is to bring sinners to God. It's a little technical and a little hard to read (Piper's writing tends to be more complex, i think), but I'm really gaining a lot from it, just the same. "

" A great read. One that never gets old. "

" This book changed my life a few years ago... I would recommend this book to anyone second to the Bible! "

" Confirms my hunger to know God Himself, better. "

" Any review I could give would be inadequate compared to the effect it had on me. "

" Really inspiring! knowing the truth of God and his love. "

" Perfect book! Helped me understand the Gospel clearly as being the Glory of God in the face of Christ. Thank you John Piper! "

" This is a great book and gives a great description of what the gospel is and the central theme of Christianity. Great read! "

" Wonderful book. Full of seeds, sufficient to plant orchards.<br/><br/>As soon as I finished it in November 2010, I went back to the beginning and started over again, which I rarely (if ever) do. Just finished again, March 2011. "

" Piper explains what the good message about the good news is: God. This is central to the Gospel, yet surprisingly lacking in our American culture. "

" Attended the DG regional conference on this topic in 07. Enjoying it in more detail in book form! "

" Perfect book! Helped me understand the Gospel clearly as being the Glory of God in the face of Christ. Thank you John Piper! "

" Salvation is not about escaping hell but gaining God.<br/><br/>John Piper nails it on the head with this book. "

" Amazing book!! A must read! This book does a great job of clarifying the theology of the gospel by putting God's glory at the center of it. It redefines love and our view of it. Overall, a great book. "

" A must read for every Christian. "

" This book stresses the fact that the purpose of the gospel is to bring sinners to God. It's a little technical and a little hard to read (Piper's writing tends to be more complex, i think), but I'm really gaining a lot from it, just the same. "

" This book makes you step back and examine why you love God. Do you love Him because of what He can do for you or because He is? "

" The message of this book is incredibly relevant to American churches. That God Himself is the good news continues to convict me as I wander away to other things. "
