New from Bestselling Author John PiperFrom Genesis to Revelation, the providence of God directs the entire course of redemptive history. Providence is Gods purposeful sovereignty. Its extent reaches down to the flight of electrons, up to the movements of galaxies, and into the heart of man. Its nature is wise and just and good. And its goal is the Christ-exalting glorification of God through the gladness of a redeemed people in a new world.Drawing on a lifetime of theological reflection, biblical study, and practical ministry, pastor and author John Piper leads us on a stunning tour of the sightings of Gods providence-from Genesis to Revelation-to discover the all-encompassing reality of Gods purposeful sovereignty over all of creation and all of history. Piper invites us to experience the profound effects of knowing the God of all-pervasive providence: the intensifying of true worship, the solidifying of wavering conviction, the strengthening of embattled faith, the toughening of joyful courage, and the advance of Gods mission in this world. Bestselling author of Dont Waste Your Life; Expository Exultation; and When I Dont Desire God Comprehensive treatment of the providence of God and how it impacts the daily Christian life Explores the extent, nature, and goal of Gods providence Examines the paradox of divine sovereignty and human responsibility
