This work is a testament to Piper's deep theological knowledge and his unwavering commitment to spreading the gospel. Through meticulous examination of scripture, Piper delves into the essence of Jesus' teachings and commands, emphasizing the importance of obedience, faith, and discipleship in the Christian life. Piper has crafted the chapters with a degree of independence, allowing most of them to be read standalone. This feature is particularly beneficial for readers who may not have the time or inclination to read the book from cover to cover in a single go. It provides flexibility in how the book can be approached, making it accessible to a broader audience.

Really enjoyed this read by John Piper. It's a reprint and renamed work from Piper previously called What Jesus Demands of the World. Piper does a great job going through the meaning and context of Jesus' commands.

All That Jesus Commanded
By John Piper
Publisher: Crossway
Series: None
Rated: 5
Obtain: Buy
Back of the Book: “In this repackaged edition of What Jesus Demands from the World, John Piper walks through Jesus’s commands, explaining their context and meaning to help readers understand Christ’s vision of the Christian life and what he still requires today.”

Impressions: I am knee deep into this book and finding it to be phenomenal. It is easy to read and comprehend. I found the topics to be thought provoking but easy to understand. I also found the studied topics to be a great resource to new and traveled Christians. I think this would be a great study source to use with a Bible study or to help share the Gospel.

In All That Jesus Commanded, John Piper walks us through Jesus's commands in a short chapter, but don't let that fool you, because if you know anything about John Piper, he goes deeeeeep, and I learn something new every time I read something from him. Every chapter walks you through a command of Jesus, explaining the context of his command, and helps you understand in practical application what it all means. Clear, concise, and thoroughly enlightening.

This book is a reprint of an earlier book written by Piper of a different name. It was my first exposure to this book. Each chapter breaks down every one of the commands of Jesus as is reported in the Gospels. The chapters are short and manageable. The writing is clear and concise. I found the subject matter interesting, and I think this book would be a great one to work through for a Sunday school class as a group. I found myself wanting to discuss and dig deeper into some topics and I’d have looked forward to a relevant discussion on the topics with others. While I didn’t agree with his assessments on every command, the material compiled here was on the whole is thought provoking. The footnotes were especially great. I usually skim over those, but the footnotes in this book were so interesting, I couldn’t help but get excited every time I saw one.

I’d like to thank Crossway and NetGalley for my advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

WOW. Loved this book. This was my first John Piper book to read and it will not be my last. I've learned so much, it has answered some questions I have had. It's improved my spiritual walk with Christ by thinking about the Command's of Jesus, and the ongoing santification that Christ has been doing in my life by using this book. I'm so grateful for the opportunity that I've had to read this book, and I look forward to reading more books like this in the future.
