John Piper

John Piper (B.A., Wheaton College; B.Div./M.Div., Fuller Theological Seminary; D.Th., University of Munich) is the founder and teacher of desiringGod.org and the chancellor of Bethlehem College & Seminary. One of the most significant and influential reformed pastor-theologians of our time, Piper has dedicated his life and ministry to heralding the supremacy of God in all things for the joy of all peoples in Jesus Christ.

He is a Calvinist Baptist preacher, author, and teacher who served for 33 years as senior pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and is the author of more than 50 books, including A Peculiar Glory, Desiring God, Don’t Waste Your Life, Brothers We are NOT Professionals, This Momentary Marriage, Bloodlines, and Future Grace.

Many people are curious about the second coming of Christ—what it will be like, when it will happen, and what signs will come first. In his latest book, Come, Lord Jesus, John Piper addresses all these issues, but stresses that those who love the second coming of Christ will receive a crown of righteousness (2 Timothy 4:6–8). 

Piper examines key biblical texts around the second coming while encouraging readers toward a Spirit-awakened affection for Jesus’s return. He also explores important questions such as, Could Jesus come at any moment, or must certain events happen first?; What does it mean to “Watch, for you know neither the day nor the hour”?; and What should we be doing when he comes? With a special focus on the teachings of Jesus, Paul, and Peter, Come, Lord Jesus portrays not only the glory of the revealed Savior, but also the glorification of the resurrected saints.

Uniting for the first time the entirety of John Piper's published writings from 1970 to 2015, this 14-volume collection features the latest editions of fifty of his books along with hundreds of articles and chapters, compiled into one beautifully designed resource.

Offering fresh introductions to each volume from Piper himself, as well as a final volume of detailed indexes and annotated bibliography for easy reference, this distinctive collection reveals the heart, mind, and faith of one of the most significant and influential pastor theologians of our time and is an ideal addition to the library of anyone who has benefited from his ministry and message.
