Living in the Light

Money, Sex and Power

By: John Piper

Narrated by: Bob Souer

What, or who, is at the center of your universe?

John Piper shows us the blazing glory of Christ and urges us to set him as the sun at the center of our personal solar systems, so that each area of our life might orbit in the way it was designed to. When Christ is our supreme treasure, we are able to keep money, sex, and power in their proper place, enjoying them and glorifying God with them instead of rejecting them or worshiping them.

The simpleness of truth

An outstanding reference to the scripture and the right position for God in every area of life

Like heart surgery

Piper digs deep in your heart and begins to root out the idols of sex, money and power. These were all there in ways I was unaware of. The same is probably true for you.

Extremely Coherent & well delivered

The Holy Spirit is clearly at work in this book. The simplicity, coherence, coordination is amazing & can only inspired by the Holy Spirit because all the above rely wholly on the Word of God

Good Reminder on what or Whom to treasure

good Reminder on whom to treasure. God over created things that will not satisfy us.

All things glorify GOD

Loved this book. I'll repeat it again!!!
GOD BE GLORIFIED FOREVER MORE!
☺ 😊😊😊 HALLELUJAH

foundational truth

Just spot on with scripture application and how we can better understand the seriousness of what we are facing

How to enjoy shadows of Christ

God expresses His goodness again in Piper’s description of how God’s shadows in this world can help us pursue the real thing.

Well done

Very well substantiated with lot description. I specially appreciated explanation of human marriage, as compared to Christ and his bride. Thank you.

Such an Amazing book

Everything hangs on what we put as the King to our Heart, if God is the King all will be well.

Money is not bad, it all depends on the individuals usage…

The Bible even says that it is the LOVE of Money that is bad…

The use of Money is an act of Worship, wether of Christ or something else.

Power, Sex and Money are God given things to show what you Value.

The Human Heart hates a Vacuum. We never mearly leave God because we Value Him little, We always exchange God for what We Value More.

“Before Christ, sin is not an alien power in us, sin is our preference for anything above God, sin is our disapproval of God, sin is our exchange of His Glory for substitutes, sin is our suppression of the truth of God, sin is our hearts hostility to God, it is who we are to the bottom of our hearts until Christ.”

The above in quotations wrong so closely to me and resonated with sins I have done and how they truly were.

This is one of those books that hits the spot easily and should be practiced.

Required reading!!!

This book should be required reading for every male around the age of 15. Excellent explanations of how these gifts can be so destructive if no used in the way that God intended.
