Prayer for Piper

From Desiring God:

PRAYER FOR JOHN PIPER

For the next four weeks John will be taking his annual writing leave, working on a book on marriage and a book on the new birth. Earlier this year he finished writing a book on spectacular sins, which is now in the final editing stages. In addition to these three books, there are three smaller books/booklets in the works. Here is the complete list of pending publications:

·         Spectacular Sins: And Their Global Purpose in the Glory of Christ (September, 2008)

·         Rethinking Retirement: Finishing Life for the Glory of God (September, 2008)

·         History’s Most Spectacular Sin booklet (June, 2008)

·         John Calvin and His Passion for the Majesty of God (2009)

·         Marriage book (title forthcoming)

·         New Birth book (title forthcoming)

Please pray for:

·         Mental and physical strength for John as he devotes himself to the task of working on these books

·         Discipline and spiritual life and power and insight from God

·         The others who are working on various aspects of the books: editors, proofreaders, designers, indexers and the publisher

Above all, pray that everyone involved would work with diligence in the strength God supplies so that in all things God gets the glory.

    Yeah, it looks like he will be having a busy month!

    Of course I suppose it’s a little easier when you can just take your sermon manuscripts and put them together with some editing and revising.

    Still, I am grateful that the elders at Bethlehem allow him to take the time do this.

Got something to say?
