<p>John Piper has had a profound impact on countless men
and women over his nearly thirty years of ministry. From his online
ministry with Desiring God to his preaching ministry at Bethlehem
Baptist to his writing ministry in over thirty books, his faithful
service has encouraged and challenged many with God’s
Word. </p><p>Piper’s influence does
not stem from his own abilities and accomplishments, but finds its
source in his consistent and humble leading of others to Scripture,
where the breathtaking glory of God is displayed in all its wonder.
We rejoice and are changed as we encounter glorious truths about
God in Piper’s ministry.</p><p>It is in this
spirit that friends and colleagues of Piper, including Wayne
Grudem, D. A. Carson, Randy Alcorn, and others, honor him by
presenting essays covering topics central to his ministry: prayer,
the sovereignty of God, justification, Jonathan Edwards, Christian
Hedonism, and more. </p><p>Pastors, scholars,
and lay leaders will benefit from this tribute to a man who has
labored so faithfully for the fame of God’s
name. </p>
