A Holy Ambition
by John Piper
Download book

Note: The display and/or download of this book is for personal use only and it may not be distributed, duplicated, or used for any commercial purpose.

This book is intended to cultivate an ambition to preach Christ where He has not yet been heard. Jesus’ Great Commission to make disciples of all nations is still in effect, and with thousands of people groups still not reached this is still a need to take the gospel where it has never gone before.

As well as the main book there is also a study guide available on the same page.

To get the free pdf download of “A Holy Ambition” simply go to the Desiring God website at this link and then select the ‘Download(PDF)’ or ‘Download this book (PDF)’ link.

Bloodlines

Bloodlines is an autobiographical book charting John Piper’s upbringing from racism to path of redemption. It shows how with the cross of Christ is there is just one bloodline. There is also a video below where John Piper discusses this book. I’ve not had a chance to read the book, but the video is very moving – so I’m excited to read it when I have time.

Tony Morgan is offering a free ebook ‘Big Churches getting Bigger’, which focuses on “large” churches and keeping them vibrant. I’ve not had a chance to look at the book yet, but it could be a useful read for some people.

The reason large churches continue to grow and thrive is they are strategic in their approach to alignment, adaptability, leadership, and reach. As you read this eBook, take note of which factors are in play at your church and which ones need to be incorporated so you can continue to be the vibrant, strategic, growing church necessary to reach more people for Christ.
