The Roots of Endurance

Invincible Perseverance in the Lives of John Newton, Charles Simeon, and William Wilberforce

De: John Piper

Narrado por: Bob Souer

John Newton, Charles Simeon, and William Wilberforce suffered lifelong opposition and endured for the causes of gospel truth, missionary zeal, and political justice. They found, in solid doctrine and humble joy, the tough roots for habitual tenderness in response to their adversaries - without doctrinal or moral flinching. They are examples of remarkable grace.

In the third book of the Swans Are Not Silent series, best-selling author John Piper looks at the lives of these three great men and focuses on how they not only endured great opposition but did so with joy and without bitterness. Their lives exemplify how to set a pace and finish the race before us, encouraging every heart that it is possible to jump the hurdles in our paths.

Wonderfully Eye Opening

I loved this book, it was well written and executed. I am now anticipating listening to the remaining books in this series. I learned so much and have been inspired by the message.

Great way to spend a Sunday

The people talked about in this book are good men who have a lot to teach us about christian living and that there is more than one way to love a good life. learned a lot about these men I didn't know. great read

A great message!

This was a great message from John Piper on the need to endure and the practical applications of how to endure.
This is the type of teaching that we need in this time that we are currently living in. A voice for living through the valleys and the difficult times that we will undoubtedly live through.

Incredible testimonies of endurance

I was challenged by the way in which John Newton, Charles Simeon and William Wilberforce endured and struggled for decades in their lives and respective ministries/careers. I realized that I give up too quickly and am too quick to doubt the work or call of God based on difficulty. The stories of these mens' lives are powerful and impactful.

Excellent

I have really enjoyed this series. The stories of such great men is inspiring. You see the comparison between great men and the vapid shell of people we call great today. It also reminds me that no life is without struggle. My faith is tried as it was with these men. But I like they, can overcome. Thanks to Pastor Piper for collecting these stories I would not have known otherwise.
