Some helpful ideas; book gets redundant after a while (  ) thewykoffs | Jan 1, 2009 |  The author explains how sin gets its power and how the Christian's answer to breaking its hold is forward-looking faith tin the promises of God. gnbclibrary | Sep 27, 2008 | This is the definitive book on "Faith." Without a doubt, Future Grace is the most important book in my life apart from God's Word. (  ) billmeister16 | Jul 29, 2007 | mauldin8302 | Oct 18, 2006 | This is a wonderful book with a fresh perspective on the importance of faith in future grace. It, along with most of Piper's other works, is very passionate and expressive. Seeing how many aspects of future grace Piper covers is amazing and this book will definately keep your attention (although it is rather long). There is not much else to say, other than a hearty recommendation of this book and the warning that you better be ready for long read (since Piper is so expressive, it isn't easy to skim).

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0851111629, Paperback)In Future Grace, author John Piper helps readers discover the key to overcoming sin and living a life that honors God. Many men and women attempt to walk upright out of gratitude for what Christ did in the past, but Piper encourages believers to look ahead to the grace God provides for us on a day-by-day, moment-by-moment basis—putting faith into action by laying hold of God’s promises for the challenges we face.Sever the Root of Sin No one sins out of duty. We sin because we want to. Sin promises happiness, and we buy the lie. So how can the root of sin be severed in our lives? The penalty of sin must be paid by the righteous blood of Christ. And the power of sin must be broken by banking on the promises of Christ. John Piper’s meditations are rooted in rock-solid biblical reflection. Chapter by chapter—one for each day of the month—he reveals how, by cherishing the promises of God, you can break the power of anxiety, despondency, covetousness, lust, bitterness, impatience, pride, misplaced shame, and more.
