Recommendations

"These little daily Advent meditations, handwritten by John Piper, are short, but they contain the depth and richness of thought for which the author is now known. With joyful reverence, he guides us into the shrine of the Incarnation. As we linger at the source, in Bethlehem where the Son was born to us, we are prompted to become all the more aware of the torrents of love springing from his broken body at Calvary. If you want this Christmas season to be spiritually enriched, season it with thoughts from this book! »
–Conrad Mbewe, pastor, Kabwata Baptist Church, Lusaka, Zambia

Un beau petit livre

Le jour 15, aujourd'hui, très encourageant. Certains jours, la traduction française dérange pour bien saisir ce que l'auteur partage tellement bien en anglais. Toutefois c'est un beau petit livre qui aide à se préparer à la fête de Noël.

Une belle préparation de l'Avent

J'ai acheté en 3 exemplaires pour donner en cadeau. Je n'ai lu que quelques pages et je serai fière de remettre ce livre. John Piper parle au coeur de ses lecteurs.

La Bonne Nouvelle d’un Petit Livre Charmant

Ce livre est pourvu de méditations et réflexions brèves et intéressantes. Il y est autant question du ministère de Jésus que de sa naissance. Le ton est léger, accessible et il nous amène à considérer plusieurs aspects concernant la mission qu’est venu remplir le Seigneur Jésus. Un bon achat.
