21 Servants of Sovereign Joy

Description

When Augustine handed over the leadership of his church in AD 426, his successor was so overwhelmed by a sense of inadequacy that he declared, “The swan is silent,” fearing the spiritual giant’s voice would be lost in time. But for 1,600 years Augustine has not been silent—and neither have the men who faithfully trumpeted the cause of Christ after him. This book compiles all 7 volumes in his Swans Are Not Silent series, in which John Piper explores the lives of Christians who have inspired every generation of believers toward a greater passion for God. Focusing on 21 leaders from church history, this book offers a close look at the course of their individual lives and their impact on our own spirituality today.
