Review # 1 was written on 2014-09-13 00:00:00 Marilyn Kobulnicky One of my favourite books by John Piper. In 50 short chapters he examines every significant command spoken by Jesus in the four Gospels. The best feature is Piper's deliberate choice to refer exclusively to the gospels and the Old Testament without reference to later New Testament books. This results in A) genuine effort to make sense of Jesus' words on their own terms without taking the tempting short cut of referring to Paul, B) a demonstration that every major Christian teaching has it's origin in the words of Jesus as recorded in the gospels, and C) a freshness in the way Piper (who is a lover of the epistles in his other books) deals with familiar issues. Having said that, I did feel that Piper couldn't help occasionally importing Pauline terminology and themes to his discussion, as well as referring often to his own very distinct ways of talking about the Christian life (i.e. Christian Hedonism). Because of the direct nature of Jesus' demands, the book was personally challenging and helpfully practical. I read it as a morning devotional, as well as a reference while preaching through the Sermon on the Mount. This book is a rare (unique?) John Piper book in that it was written from scratch as an entire book rather than being based on sermons, which gives it a noticeable unity of concept, style and content.

Review # 2 was written on 2016-02-18 00:00:00 Rick Mann This was a really wonderful book! Through this book I felt that I know Jesus much more in depth then I had previously reading this book! I got a chance to really discover the work that the Lord begun in me. With every demand I understood what Jesus really wants for us and pray that in the future He will change my all heart. I warmly recommend this book, especially for the ones that do not know Jesus! May God bless you with repenting and turning to His love because without Him in our lives we can't ever do anything and our heart will never be fulfilled!
