![]() ![]() ![]() Piper addresses and helpfully answers many of our questions about the second coming, but the great contribution of this book is its stirring of our hearts with the truth of God’s word. In our commitment to gospel-centrality we must find ways to more fully and more regularly celebrate the grand consummation of God’s redemptive purposes, and this book helps us do just that. Of all of John Piper’s books, this may be the one I’m most glad he wrote. Stephen Witmer, Pastor, Pepperell, Massachusetts This is a truly ‘Christian Hedonist’ eschatology: robustly biblical, radically hope-giving, and relentlessly focused on our eternal enjoyment of the glorious triune God. More than that, he stokes our longing for Jesus’s return. In Come, Lord Jesus, John Piper anticipates our questions about the last things, clarifies and improves those questions, then delivers trustworthy answers from the Scriptures. Thomas Schreiner, Professor, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary ![]() ![]() I found this book to be fuel for the mind and the heart, one that is full of biblical and practical wisdom. Certainly there are disagreements about the end times, but no one will be able to dispute that Piper argues carefully and extensively from the Scriptures. We are stirred to love Jesus’s appearing and to live now in light of the last day, in light of the return of the King. Readers should not neglect this important book on the coming of the Lord Jesus and the last times. ![]()
