REJOICE THIS CHRISTMAS (AND EVERMORE!)

Many of you will be familiar with the writing and preaching of John Piper. Through the Desiring God Web site he has generously made freely available some of his books as pdf files. I am intending to read one this Christmas and invite you to do the same. The book is 'THE DAWNING OF INDESTRUCTIBLE JOY' Daily Readings for Advent.

It can be found here: http://www.desiringgod.org/books/the-dawning-of-indestructible-joy

May you know what it is to rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory this Christmas.
