Turn your world on its head.For more than thirty years, John Piper pastored in the rough and tumble realities of downtown Minneapolis, preaching his people through the ups and down of life one Sunday at a time. When it came to capturing a generation of joy in one final sermon series, he turned to ten trademark truths to leave ringing in his peoples’ ears.1. God Is2. The Glory of God3. Christian Hedonism4. The Sovereignty of God5. The Gospel of God in Christ6. The Call to Global Missions7. Living the Christian Life8. The Perseverance of the Saints9. Biblical Manhood and Womanhood10. Sorrowful Yet Always RejoicingThese ten are world-shaking truths—each astonishing in its own way. First they turned Piper’s own world upside down. Then his church’s. And they will continue to turn the whole world upside down as the gospel of Christ advances in distance and depth. These surprising doctrines, as Piper writes, are “wildly untamable, explosively uncontainable, and electrically future-creating.”Join a veteran author, pastor, and Christian statesman as he captures the ten astonishing, compassionate, life-giving, joy-awakening, hope-sustaining truths that have held everything together for him.(This book is a revised edition of the earlier title, Doctrine Matters.)

"May these meditations become in your life the living embodiment of God's Word and penetrate to the deep places of your soul. God has a good work to do there." -John Piper ONLY GOD CAN SATISFY YOUR SOUL. Every day, the world takes another step away from God's truth and into greater moral and spiritual relativism. If your view of life is fed by a steady diet of television news and popular opinion, you'll find yourself starved, parched, and confused. But there is a way for your soul to be satisfied and at peace during these turbulent times. The answer is to turn those hungers, questions, and desires towards God. These meditations offer a daily serving of God's Word along with practical insights from beloved pastor and author John Piper. Each reading reorients you to the eternal rather than the popular. In a world where ephemeral feelings are valued more than firm facts and eternal joys, each selection will awaken you to the truth of who God is-and who you are. These 120 devotional readings celebrate God's sovereignty in every aspect of our world, from how to feed our soul, the danger of hero worship, and loving our enemies, to suffering, having a passion for purity, and ways we can be a refuge for our children. This collection offers a daily feast of truth and wisdom that places God right where He belongs-at the center of our lives. These meditations originally appeared in John Piper's Pierced by the Word, Life as a Vapor, and A Godward Heart.YOU ARE INVITED TO ENJOY THE RAREST OF TREASURES… The world tries to distract our minds. Deaden our hearts. Water down our beliefs. If there are no absolutes, then we can pursue whatever tickles our fancy. We are the captain of our destiny. But, sadly, the result is that we remain hopelessly adrift in a constantly changing sea of confusion. There is a better answer: Rather than numb our soul, we can fully satisfy it. Instead of letting the world squeeze us into its mold, we can be molded into sons and daughters of God. The solution is to feast on God's Word and drink deep from His river of life. These daily meditations invite us into this central promise about God: You are good and do good; Teach me your statutes. -Psalm 119:68 Discover the supremacy of God in every area of your life...and as the only source of a truly satisfied soul.

El significado del matrimonio es infinitamente grandioso. El abismo entre la vision biblica del matrimonio y el concepto humano en general es -y ha sido siempre- gigantesco. Historicamente, algunas culturas respetan la importancia y la permanencia del matrimonio mas que otras. Algunas, culturas occidentales del siglo XXI, tienen una actitud hacia el matrimonio del tipo "tomelo o dejelo," tan limitada e informal como para hacer que la vision biblica le parezca ridicula a la mayoria de la gente. El matrimonio es un regalo temporal, pero glorioso. Es mas que el amor de un esposo y de una esposa por el otro; es muchisimo mas. Su significado es infinitamente grandioso: es la representacion del amor fiel al pacto entre Jesus y su pueblo.
