“God has appointed preaching in worship as one great means of accomplishing his ultimate goal in the world.” —John Piper John Piper makes a compelling claim in these pages about the purpose of preaching: it is intended not merely as an explanation of the text but also as a means of awakening worship by being worship in and of itself. Christian preaching is a God-appointed miracle aiming to awaken the supernatural seeing, savoring, and showing of the glory of Christ. Distilling over forty years of experience in preaching and teaching, Piper shows preachers how and what to communicate from God’s Word, so that God’s purpose on earth will advance through Biblesaturated, Christ-exalting, God-centered preaching—in other words, expository exultation.

The Courage to Be introduced issues of theology and culture to a general readership. The book examines ontic, moral, and spiritual anxieties across history and in modernity. The author defines courage as the self-affirmation of one's being in spite of a threat of nonbeing. He relates courage to anxiety, anxiety being the threat of non-being and the courage to be what we use to combat that threat. Tillich outlines three types of anxiety and thus three ways to display the courage to be. Tillich writes that the ultimate source of the courage to be is the "God above God," which transcends the theistic idea of God and is the content of absolute faith (defined as "the accepting of the acceptance without somebody or something that accepts").

These fascinating articles and lectures by Paul Tillich have never been reprinted from their original publications over half a century ago. They shed much light on Tillich's own thinking as well as that of Luther and Calvin, Bultmann, Kierkegaard, and others. He explores the nature of religious symbols, Christian Socialism, and the doctrine of Jesus Christ. Students and clergy brought up on today's thin theological gruel will be amazed at what they have missed!

Piper has added valuable new material reflecting on his thirty-three years of preaching at Bethlehem Baptist Church, offering a glimpse of what a lifetime of putting God first has done for the faith of the hundreds of thousands who have heard him preach over the years.

Hearing your pastor preach and teach freedom every Sunday and Wednesday, watching and listening to a well-known televangelist speak about a life of victory sounds so amazing. But when you leave the temple or turn off your television, you’re left with the reality you live in. You go to church, but you are not free. Knowing that you need to tell someone what is happening to you and what you’re going through, but you are wrestling with the fear of the condemnation and shame that your own brothers and sisters in the church will unleash on you. Sounds familiar? This is the reality of so many within the body of Christ. For so long, many people, even ministers, lived in the dark while preaching the light of God. Large crowds, honorarium checks, flights to many places around the world, and even fame often accompanies those who preach the Word of God. Being a pastor does not exclude you from hiding. So many are hiding and using the pulpit as a cover to escape the shame that accompanies a sinful lifestyle. In Preacher in the Dark, Michael Quiñones lets you in on his life’s journey and struggle to be free of the darkness he lived for most of his ministerial career. Michael details the strategy of the enemy on how he keeps people in darkness. He explains familiar spirits and generational curses. He teaches how the enemy even uses food to enslave believers. In this book, you will travel through Michael’s breakthrough and see how God set him free from the lustful, adulterous lifestyle Satan prepared for him as many other men and women experience this same situation. Rather than hiding, you will discover the power of confession and the freedom it brings because God has called us to live a life in his glorious light. Today is the day that you say, “Enough!” Enough with living in the shadows. You will step out of darkness and into the light of God!
