John Piper

Coffee table book that packs a punch. A Narrative Poem of the emotions, themes, and lives portrayed in the book of Job. Beautiful corresponding photography by Ric Ergenbright.

I love Piper's Narrative poems. So rich and worshipful. In a gorgeous few lines, he transports the reader to the time of Job, his wife, and his friends. You find yourself seeing very clearly the scriptures, and you get a strong communication of the theology of the trials that Job faced. For my favorite line from the book, click here. No man is poor nor much enticed, who loses everything but Christ. Aah. How powerful. I wish I could live that.
