John Piper: A Sweet and Bitter Providence
John Piper’s got a new book, A Sweet and Bitter Providence. About the book:
The timeless themes of sex, racial tension, and God’s perplexing and perfect plans are as much a part of our human experience today as they were for Ruth and Boaz over three thousand years ago.
In A Sweet and Bitter Providence, the book of Ruth comes alive as a story of how God uses the most dangerous and tenuous circumstances to accomplish his wise and gracious purposes.
Here’s the trailer:
