Let the Nations Be Glad!The Supremacy of God in Missions Since its publication a decade ago, Let the Nations Be Glad! has provided thousands of seminary students, missionaries, and pastors with a sound theological foundation for missions. Piper now offers a revised and expanded edition of this theological and biblical defense of God's supremacy in all things. This revised and expanded edition contains updated references to contemporary literature and debates and new illustrations and quotations. This edition also contains a new preface and a final section devoted to the practical outworking of compassion and worship. Included in this new section is a chapter encouraging passion for God's supremacy and compassion for man's soul, based on Jonathan Edwards's musings on the unity of motives for world missions. Concluding this section is a chapter containing Piper's reflections on New Testament worship as an inner reality more than an external form. In the new preface Piper explains who this book is for: This book is not just for missionaries. It is for pastors who (like me) want to connect their fragile, momentary local labors to God’s invincible, eternal, global purposes. It’s for lay people who want a bigger motivation for being world Christians than they get from statistics. It’s for college and seminary classes on the theology of missions that really want to be theological as well as anthropological, methodological, and technological. And it’s for leaders who need the flickering wick of their vocation fanned into flame again with a focus on the supremacy of God in all things. More Information

Testimonies
I can say without exaggeration that Piper's writing in the first chapter of Let the Nations be Glad has more profoundly impacted my life, ministry direction and theology than any other single chapter of any book (outside those of Scripture) that I have ever read. I am thankful to God that the theological and practical gap that once existed between the worlds of worship and missions is closing. I am eternally grateful that we live in a day when we are seeing God move powerfully to hasten the fulfillment of His promise in Isaiah 61:11: "...As the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth, So the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
"I wish to inform you that the four books I requested from Pastor Piper have been received. What a generosity! I seize this opportunity to convey my gratitude to Pastor Piper, the entire brothers and sisters in the Lord of Desiring God in Minnesota. I will study all the four books seriously with prayers so that I can grow spiritually to become a mature Christian in order to bear much fruit to the glory of God."
The Lord began dealing with my heart concerning missions, particularly frontier missions, beginning in the summer of 1997… To make a long story short, Desiring God pushed me to the brink of surrendering to full-time missions, Let the Nations Be Glad pushed me over the brink and now, by God's grace, the principles contained in Future Grace will keep me there. My family and I are willing to learn to "walk by faith, not by sight" (2 Corinthians 5:7) and "be content, whatever the circumstances" (Philippians 4:11) in a way that we've never had to before. We have applied for missionary training…and will hopefully begin training in August.
