John Piper's new book Filling Up the Afflictions of Christ is now available. It is the fifth volume in his The Swans Are Not Silent series.

Each book in this series contains 3 biographical sketches of different men from church history—how God used them and what we can learn from them.

This latest addition is subtitled, "The Cost of Bringing the Gospel to the Nations in the lives of William Tyndale, Adoniram Judson, and John Paton." It tells the stories of these 3 men with a special emphasis on God's power in their sufferings.

The other books in this collection of biographies are

• The Legacy of Sovereign Joy: God's Triumphant Grace in the Lives of Augustine, Luther, and Calvin
• Contending for Our All: Defending Truth and Treasuring Christ in the Lives of Athanasius, John Owen, and J. Gresham Machen
• The Hidden Smile of God: The Fruit of Affliction in the Lives of John Bunyan, William Cowper, and David Brainerd
