Rating:  - Piper wants it both ways
Briefly Piper (and others) want to write books about evangelism and missions. Fine. But in the books they use words like "salvation is at stake" and the "urgency of our mission" (120, 159, 165). This is a bit hypocritical for Calvinists.

Rating: - "Missions is not the ultimate goal of the Church. Worship is."
I am thankful to God for allowing me to have read "Let the Nations be Glad" by John Piper. In it, Piper immediately draws the reader in by stating that "Missions is not the ultimate goal of the Church. Worship is." Piper affiliates missions to the supremacy of God by insisting that worship is the chief end of the church and not missions. He demonstrates this by stating that worship is ultimate and not missions, because God is ultimate, not man. Piper explains that missions are temporary while worship ... Read More
