Narrowing in on the promise found in Romans 8:32, this tract shows how God giving up his own Son guarantees that nothing can ever separate us from his love.

God wants your heart. The whole Bible teaches truth and awakens emotions, but the Psalms are in a category of their own. They do not just awaken heart; they put it in the foreground. They do not just invite our emotions to respond to God's truth; they put our emotions on display.The Psalms are not just commanding; they are contagious. We are not just listening to profound ideas and feelings. We are living among them in their overflow. We touch pillows wet with tears. We hear and feel the unabashed cries of affliction, shame, regret, grief, anger, discouragement, and turmoil. But what makes all this stunningly different from the sorrows of the world is that all of it-absolutely all of it-is experienced in relation to the totally sovereign God.This book is an invitation. God wants our hearts. He will take them as he finds them. And then, with the healing contagion of the Psalms, he will shape them. Accept his invitation to come.

Getting to know that special someone naturally includes learning about family and friends, education and athletics, favor­ite pastimes, and your hopes and dreams. Ideally, you’ll ask each other all kinds of questions, some vital and some trivial, and you’ll talk about life’s best moments and worst, the brightest places in your background and the darkest.But what about God? What is his role in your relationship? What do each of you believe about him, and how do you understand his dream for marriage—for your marriage?At Desiring God, one of our most accessed pages online is a set of questions John Piper put together for couples preparing for marriage (an updated version appears in Appendix I). You’ll find many of the typical questions here—about friends and entertainment and lifestyle and children, and many people have found that John’s way of putting these questions helps get right at some pretty deep stuff.But you’ll find other questions here, too—about theology, worship and devotion, and the roles of husband and wife—ques­tions that far too many couples don’t think to ask. When preparing for marriage, or even in just beginning to con­sider it, it can be immensely helpful to have the perspective of someone like John Piper, not only a seasoned husband of nearly 50 years, but also a sea­soned pastor, careful thinker, and faithful theologian.Our hope is that a few couples—whether dating and considering marriage, or engaged and preparing for marriage—would find some benefit here, getting to know each other better in some of life’s most significant matters, and becoming more fit to discern God’s leading for their lives.But John has more to offer than just the pre-marriage questions. Chapter 1 includes John’s counsel about engagement, chapter 2 about wedding planning (and finances). Chapter 3 provides invaluable instruction about the beautiful, complementary dynamic the Bible teaches between husband and wife.Sexual relations in marriage is the topic of chapter 4. (We know some of you may be flipping straight to that one, now that you know it’s there. That’s okay. Do read the rest of the book when you can!) Here there is so much potential for pleasure, and so much potential for pain. Don’t shy away from giving the topic of sex good consideration and honest discussion during your engagement.Then, in chapter 5, John helps us ponder how we can guard our marriages in a day in which they are under assault from every side. Finally, chapter 6 is based on perhaps John Piper’s single most important message on marriage. There he goes more macro than many of us have ever dared to go in thinking about what marriage is, and what God designed it for. This is a glorious, true, life-changing vision.After John’s long list of pre-marriage questions to discuss, the second appendix is about mission together. Marriage is for mission, too. In particular, the focus here is on hospital­ity. It’s a lightly edited sermon from the series that became the book This Momentary Marriage: A Parable of Permanence, which is where we’d send you to learn more about marriage fol­lowing this book. (We’d also want to point you to a 30-day devotional for young married couples called Happily Ever After: Finding Grace in the Messes of Marriage, by John Piper and other contributors to desiringGod.org.) For Christians, talking about ministry together, including hospitality (literally, in the New Tes­tament, “love for strangers”) is essential preparation.Reevaluate your commitments, check your priorities, rethink your normal. It will be well worth your time to ask difficult questions and think hard about the answers. For your joy, the good of others, and the glory of the church’s Groom.

Turn your world on its head.For more than thirty years, John Piper pastored in the rough and tumble realities of downtown Minneapolis, preaching his people through the ups and down of life one Sunday at a time. When it came to capturing a generation of joy in one final sermon series, he turned to ten trademark truths to leave ringing in his peoples’ ears.1. God Is2. The Glory of God3. Christian Hedonism4. The Sovereignty of God5. The Gospel of God in Christ6. The Call to Global Missions7. Living the Christian Life8. The Perseverance of the Saints9. Biblical Manhood and Womanhood10. Sorrowful Yet Always RejoicingThese ten are world-shaking truths—each astonishing in its own way. First they turned Piper’s own world upside down. Then his church’s. And they will continue to turn the whole world upside down as the gospel of Christ advances in distance and depth. These surprising doctrines, as Piper writes, are “wildly untamable, explosively uncontainable, and electrically future-creating.”Join a veteran author, pastor, and Christian statesman as he captures the ten astonishing, compassionate, life-giving, joy-awakening, hope-sustaining truths that have held everything together for him.(This book is a revised edition of the earlier title, Doctrine Matters.)
