<br/><br/> Sever the root of sin by prizing the promises of God. Where does sin get its power? Author John Piper explains: from the pleasure it promises. But a superior satisfaction comes when we cherish the promises of God. This means that the driving force of radical Christian living is not backward-looking gratitude, but forward-looking faith. Piper's meditations are rooted in rock-solid biblical reflection. Chapter by chapter -- one for each day of the month -- he reveals how, by prizing the promises of God, you can break the power of anxiety, despondency, covetousness, lust, bitterness, impatience, pride, misplaced shame, and more. - Back cover.
