    Great transaction, exactly as described, packed well, and promptly shipped on August 6th. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe

    Excellent purchase. Was able to get all three items from the one seller. Seller was able to bundle all three items together into one package. Items as described and arrived in perfect condition. Good communication around shipping and tracking as items delayed and not able to be delivered by original estimate. Thanks to shipping updates I was able to track the items arriving before the extended delivery time. Thank you for making these items available on EBay.

    I gave 5 stars on shipping because i sent 2 separate emails + they responded with helpful info, even though it arrived late. This was a great value with free shipping + the condition is very good, better than advertised 🙂! The overall quality and appearance is excellent! I highly recommend this seller and give them 👍👍👍👍

  • Brand New 10th Anniversary Edition

    It’s lovely to follow John Piper’s revisions of his classic through the years. The changes are more personal and you see him grow in faith and wisdom and power. A transformative book, it puts the center of our enjoyment of God at the forefront of our faith. God is most glorified when we are most satisfied in Him.

  • It's my first Piper book

    I've never read anything by John Piper, but my boyfriend is doing a bible study and wanted us to go though it together. I must admit, the first 3 or so chapters were difficult because of the concepts he presents, but I'm adapting to his writing style.
