| John Piper, Sinclair Ferguson, Mark Driscoll, and other leaders from
Desiring God’s 2008 conference examine the life-altering power of our words and
their impact in sharing the gospel
Words carry immeasurable significance: The universe was created with a word;
Jesus healed and cast out demons with a word; rulers have risen and fallen by
their words; Christians have worshiped through words of song, confession, and
preaching. Even in our technological age, politics, education, business, and
relationships center on words.
Since the tongue is such a powerful force—for good or evil—we are wise to
ask: What would homes, churches, schools, even the public square be like if we
used words with Christian intentionality and eloquence? The Power of Words
and the Wonder of God seeks to answer this difficult question. In these
chapters, derived from Desiring God’s 2008 national conference, John Piper,
Sinclair Ferguson, and Mark Driscoll team with worship pastor Bob Kauflin,
counselor Paul Tripp, and literature professor Daniel Taylor to help readers
harness their tongues and appropriately command their silences for the glory of
God and the ministry of the gospel. |
