Pierced by the Word takes up 31 subjects as unique as How to Be a Refuge for Your Children, How to Drink Orange Juice to the Glory of God, and Embracing the Pain of Shame.
Some are longer, some shorter, like the real-world conversations they so closely resemble, and each comes from the fertile mind of John Piper and is written in his own inimitable style.
Together, the readings will lead to a deeper understanding of God and a cleaner, clearer relationship with Him. Most of all, Piper's approach shows how meditating on God's powerful Word can affect every aspect of our lives.
