John Piper: 'Finally Alive'


I've started reading John Piper's Finally Alive. From the introductory section, before the first chapter, I was engrossed. The book talks about the 'New Birth'.

I'm on the 4th chapter and I started reading it two days ago. This is the first John Piper book I have read, and surprised by my own intellect I was able to understand it... so far.

He talks about what the 'New Birth' is: death to the old self, and new birth in the Holy Spirit through faith in Jesus.
He will go on to talk about how it happens and what that means to our Journey and how we relate to others.

It's a pretty small book, so I'd definitely recommend it. I'll keep an update on my progress as I read it. Pray that God speaks to me as I read it.
