The Chief End of Suffering

In 'Let the Nations Be Glad! ', John Piper argues that the ultimate goal of missions is not solely the salvation of souls, but the elevation and glorification of God's name among all peoples. Piper posits that worship is both the fuel and the goal of missions, igniting a passion for missions and driving believers to reach the nations. The book explores the role of prayer, spiritual warfare, and suffering in missions, emphasizing that every aspect of mission work is geared towards ascribing glory to God. This 30th anniversary edition incorporates insights from Piper's refined thinking over the past decade and is essential reading for those involved in or preparing for missions work, as well as for students, pastors, and other ministry workers.
