John Piper and his father, William Piper

Today, 91 years ago, my father, William Solomon Hottle Piper, was born. When I gave my tribute to him at the Desiring God Pastors’ Conference I called it “Evangelist Bill Piper: Fundamentalist Full of Grace and Joy."

John Piper (@JohnPiper) is founder and teacher of desiringGod.org. He served for 32 years as pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church, Minneapolis, Minnesota. He is author of more than 50 books. John and his wife Noël have five children and twelve grandchildren.
