Spectacular Sins: And Their Global Purpose in the Glory of Christ (Used Paperback) - John Piper
Don't let the small size of this book fool you. Like most of Piper's writings, it's wonderfully dangerous and critically needed in our day - especially in the Western world. This is a stick of dynamite that has the potential of radically altering the way you view suffering and evil forever - on both a personal and global scale. But I must warn you. Don't expect to find in this book all the typical, soft "words of comfort" espoused by many in our day to help people maximize pleasure by minimizing or rationalizing away the pain of suffering. Instead prepare yourself to have your mind renewed, your faith strengthened by a different vision of all things (including evil), and your courage bolstered.
