For the Fame of God’s Name is a tremendous resource for anyone seeking a better grasp of the personal life, pastoral ministry, God-centered theology, and far-reaching legacy of John Piper. John Piper is a remarkable man: hard-working, disciplined, focused, intense, and introverted–yet deeply compassionate, pastoral, and tender-hearted towards others in his midst and deeply moved by the wider social ills of our day, including matters of race and prejudice, abortion, the spiritual and physical poverty of unreached people groups, the victims of tsunamis and earthquakes, and the manacles of materialism that saddle Christians, spoiling their appetite for God and crippling their effectiveness for the Greatest Cause. John thinks, feels, preaches and writes with all his might, and he does them all for the glory of God.
For the Fame of God’s Name is a compilation of essays penned by those whose ministries have been shaped by the ripple effects of John’s preaching, and by those who have known him closely and personally for many years. I commend this book to anyone seeking a better grasp of the man John Piper and, more importantly, the God he serves.
