About this title: Why is the church so ineffectual and characterised by the mosaic generation as unchristian? The term born again has been devalued both in society and in the church. Recent social studies surveys have shown that those who regard themselves as born again Christians have the same tendency to divorce as people who arent Christians at all! In these surveys, being born again is defined by what people say they believe. The New Testament defines Christians very differently. Piper defines new birth biblically and helps us to embrace the reality of it. I hope that showing that the new birth is not in ...

Description: Very Good. 8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall. "When I was a boy my grandmother ased me, 'Have you been born again? ' Though I didn't understand what she meant at the time, that question led to my conversion to Christ. In this wonderful book, Pastor John Piper rescues the term 'born again' from the abuse and overuse to which it is subject in our culture today.

"One of the best books John Piper has written, and I have read a lot of them. What does a real Christian live like? He carefully shows you from scripture."
"Piper is another of my favorite authors. His ability to look long and hard at a subject and stir our hearts with Biblical truth is unmatched by any contemporary author. This book is about the new birth, a subject that is fuzzy for far too many Christians today. I have liked what I have read so far."
"His might be one of Piper's best books as he explores the importance of the new birth. The sermon series was better, but the book is a good resource that is readily accessible. Encouraging and challenging, Piper's passion for God and the church are evident on every page."
