Legacy of Sovereign Joy God's Triumphant Grace in the Lives of Augustine, Luther, And Calvin

We admire these men for their greatness, but the truth is Augustine grappled with sexual passions. Martin Luther struggled to control his tongue. John Calvin fought the battle of faith with worldly weapons. Yet each man will always be remembered for the messages he declared- messages that still resound today. John Piper explores each of these menrs" s lives, integrating Augustiners" s delight in God with Lutherrs" s emphasis on the Word and Calvinrs" s exposition of Scripture. Through their strengths and struggles we can learn how to live better today. When we consider their lives, we behold the glory and majesty of God and find power to overcome our weaknesses. If ever you are complacent about sin, if ever you lose the joy of Jesus Christ, if ever you are dulled by the worldrs" s influence, let the lives of these men help you recapture the wonder of God.
