It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away (James 4:14). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLiving knowing that your life is a vapor is different than just living. Things here are passing away. You've got to hold on to what will stand. Savor what matters. This collection of thirty-one articles is full of that heart-longing after Christ that distinguishes Piper's preaching ministry. Readers will feel as though they have stumbled into a garden as they enter these pages. The Scripture cuts, Christ is exalted in God, and we worship Him. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eLife Is Short. Eternity Is Long. Live Like It. \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYou will exist forever. You and God are both in the universe to stay--either as friends on His terms, or enemies on yours--which it will be is proven in this life. And this life is a vapor. Two seconds, and we will be gone. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn these thirty-one meditations, John Piper will connect you to a fresh understanding of God and a renewed relationship with Him. You'll find your faith stirred to make every day count for Christ when you consider life as a vapor. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eStory Behind the Book\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTime is precious. We are fragile. Life is short. Eternity is long. Every minute counts. Oh, to be a faithful steward of the breath God has given me. Three texts resound in my ears: Redeem the time (Ephesians 5:16 ); It is required of stewards that one be found trustworthy (1 Corinthians 4:2); His grace toward me was not in vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me (1 Corinthians 15:10 ). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSurely God means for our minutes on earth to count for something significant. Paul said, In the day of Christ I will have reason to glory because I did not run in vain nor toil in vain (Philippians 2:16). In the same way, I have good hope from the Lord that my labor is not in vain in the Lord (1 Corinthians 15:58 ).","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49602408677649,"sku":"GOR003319304","price":5.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49728270926097,"sku":"CIN1590523385G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50135303192849,"sku":"CIN1590523385VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50187233001745,"sku":"CIN1590523385A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50961180295441,"sku":"GOR005878867","price":6.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1590523385.jpg?v=1751309555","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/life-as-a-vapor-book-john-piper-9781590523384","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
