Ask Pastor John
What does the Bible have to say about ethics, theology, and everyday life? In Ask Pastor John, Tony Reinke presents John Piper’s Bible answers to 750 of life’s most important questions.
Biblical Wisdom Abounds
Based on the Ask Pastor John Podcast, this book categorizes, distills, and synthesizes 10 years worth of words. The book covers a lot of ground in over 500 pages, but Reinke keeps it moving by strictly presenting the meat of Piper’s answers. Biblical wisdom abounds.
I am a fan of the podcast - I’ve listened to every episode. This book is an excellent representation of the material and magic that makes the podcast special. It is broadly accessible, but also able to niche down into specific topics. The Bible and politics, marriage and dating, exercise and food, entertainment and sorrow. There is something here for everyone.
Clear, Compelling, Christ-Exulting
I was personally interested in reading Reinke’s Introduction: A Little History of APJ (and Why I Wrote This Book). It details the quick start of putting the podcast together. God’s sovereignty is on full display. The book itself is a beautiful hardcover with the podcast logo embossed on the cover, making it a must-have for avid listeners.
Reinke calls his book a guide to the podcast. But it’s also a guide to good, clear, Christian thinking. When you Ask Pastor John, you’ll get compelling, Christ-exulting answers. This book is a landmark work for Piper and Reinke, and a flagship resource for those who ask to desire God.
