Piper offers the readers of his book exactly what they need to hear…not that Covid-19 will disappear tomorrow, but that there is a God who is greater than this pandemic, and that He is in control and wills good out of seemingly meaningless pain.
Piper writes a valuable book because he emphasizes God’s character. You will be remiss to find a page without reference to God and his nature and will find comparatively less mention about you or I. This is as it should be.
Piper is not blind to the present realities of our world. He acknowledges the storms, but reminds us that to walk above them – to stay on top of the water as Peter failed to do – we must keep our eyes on Christ.

In this humorous and inspiring sermon, John Piper explores the importance of making the most of the limited time we have. Piper says that there are three great truths that if understood would allow someone to live their life well. He quotes from C.T. Studd, “Only one life, twill soon be past; only what’s done for Christ will last.” Do our choices really matter? Piper would answer with an ecstatic, “Yes!”
Each. Day. Counts. So, live well.
