    About this audiobook

    “Besides Jesus, no one has kept me from despair, or taken me deeper into the mysteries of the gospel, than the apostle Paul.” ―John Piper

    No one has had a greater impact on the world for eternal good than the apostle Paul―except Jesus himself. For John Piper, this impact is very personal. He does not just admire and trust Paul. He loves him. Piper gives us thirty glimpses into why his heart and mind respond this way.

    Can a Christian-killer really endure 195 lashes from a heart of love? Can a mystic who thinks he was caught up into heaven be a model of lucid rationality? Can an ethnocentric Jew write the most beautiful call to reconciliation? Can a person who lives with the unceasing anguish of empathy be always rejoicing? Can a man’s description of the horrors of human sin be exceeded by his delight in human splendor? Can a man with a backbone of steel be as tender as a nursing mother?

    If we know this man―if we see what Piper sees―we too will love him. Paul’s testimony is a matter of life and death. Piper invites you into his relationship with Paul in the hope that you will know life, forever.

    • 5/5
      "Why I love the Apostle Paul:30 reasons: is an exceptional book that explores an in depth conversation and reflections on how Paul's writings made internal, external and eternal changes on the author John Piper. It assists its reader to comprehend more clearly who was Paul, what he did in the early Church , how , why and when Paul embodied Christ. It offers a heart to soul dialogue with the reader or listener on why Paul loved and preached the Gospel as well as his formidable, and spiritual father/ son relationship with those he instructed. It's an excellent read!
