Synopsis

Pierced by the Word takes up thirty-one subjects as unique as "How to Be a Refuge for Your Children," "How to Drink Orange Juice to the Glory of God," and "Embracing the Pain of Shame." Some are longer, some shorter, like the real-world conversations they so closely resemble, and each comes from the fertile mind of John Piper and is written in his own inimitable style. Together, the readings will lead to a deeper understanding of God and a cleaner, clearer relationship with Him. Most of all, Piper's approach shows how meditating on God's powerful Word can affect every aspect of our lives.

Whether you’re steeped in the Word of God or newly acquainted with it, these thirty-one meditations will penetrate to the deepest reaches of your soul.

With a contagious passion, John Piper awakens us to violent prayer, piercing pleasure, and fearless faith.

From AudioFile:

With skill and clarity Michael Kramer narrates 31 short mediations that illustrate why the Word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword. Each meditation begins with a brief scripture, followed by an illustration to further explore and elaborate on its focus. The meditations end with prayer and tips on personal application. Kramer's distinct voice and clear enunciation, coupled with the structure of the program, make this a perfect match for busy people to refresh themselves. Although described as mediations, these are in devotion format and are easy to follow. They are an excellent choice for an early morning commute.
