While this is not an easy read, John Piper uncovers some powerful lessons from these past giants of the faith. I was encouraged to learn that each of these giants had flaws and struggles. They were imperfect vessels and yet God's grace was made strong in their weakness. I recommend the book. A pdf version of the book is available as a free download on John Piper's website, Desiring God.Enrique Rivera

I am continuously bewildered by the choice to make 1,000 page books "reader editions." I understand that from a marketing perspective, this allows logos to add books to their collection quicker. However, I fear this is at the expense of the best part of logos. These books will be nice additions, if I have extra money to spend, but they are often cheaper to buy elsewhere and the incentive to spend more for the logos edition has vanished. Unless there is something that I am not getting, this seems to be a mistake by logos. I'd much rather wait and have an edition that benefits from logos power. I have raised this concern in the past with other titles and have yet to hear any responses from logos.
