Finally Alive: What Happens When We Are Born Again? (2009) - Plot & Excerpts
Very extensive Theology on Regeneration. If you like the technical; "need to know every detail to be sure" kind of book? This is it. It is an intellectually challenging read. Answered a few of my questions well, ie: is getting saved a mutual assent kind of deal? is it wholly and only God who saves, or is it wholly the man who chooses to embrace a saving God? That among other questions this book did a great job at giving a biblical, scripture-backed answer. Excellent book dealing with the subject of what it really means to be a "Born Again" Christian. It also shows that while the "Barna Group" says that 45% of Americans say they have been religiously "Born Again," that in reality it is much lower than that. Why? Because "Born Again" has been so loosely thrown around that many who think they are "Born Again," are NOT based on what it Biblically means. Piper will take you through 100's of scripture references in this 200-page book, that will help you to see if you are a "Born Again Christian. If not, my prayer is that this book will be used to bring you to that place of becoming a "Born Again" Christian.John 3:3,7 reads:3 Jesus answered him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he CANNOT see the kingdom of God...7 Do not marvel that I said to you, 'You MUST be born again.'
