Barnabas Piper – författare

From the creators of the popular Happy Rant podcast comes this collection of thought-provoking and often humorous discussions of Christian culture to help you gain valuable insight and clarity into the issues that frequently divide the church.     Ted Kluck, Ronnie Martin and Barnabas Piper, hosts of the Happy Rant podcast, take their signature faith-based back-and-forth from the recording booth to the book page as they explore pastor trends, personality tests, political engagement, and more.   The Happy Rant crew have a lot of strong opinions, and occasionally, they even agree with one another! Candid and compelling, Ted, Ronnie, and Barnabas tackle everything from the divisive issues within the church to more lighthearted fare that reminds us not to take ourselves too seriously.   As entertaining as it is engaging, The Happy Rant will help you approach the world around you more thoughtfully and enjoy a laugh or two (or maybe three) along the way.  

Curiosity is such a childish word, right?   Not so fast. Just because we grow up doesn’t mean we should lose our wonder at the world, or the people around us. When we do, we lose so much because curious is how God made us to be.   Without curiosity a Christian’s life is incomplete. His relationship with God is incomplete. His connections to others are incomplete. He doesn’t know how to interact with the world around him—politics, media, art, entertainment, science, and so much more simply fly past or overwhelm him. Without curiosity he can never discover deep things, deep connections God tucked below the banal surface of life.   Author Barnabas Piper explores what curiosity is, and how it affects relationships. What if people so sought to learn about each other that the most unlikely people became advocates and friends?   It would be transformative, and it would stem from curiosity.

Aunque el padre obedezca al llamado de Dios, el hijo del pastor solo sigue a mamá y papá. A menudo dando resultados devastadores. Barnabas Piper, hijo del exitoso pastor-autor John Piper, vivió los desafíos de ser un hijo de pastor en carne propia. Con empatía, humor e historias personales, aborda las suposiciones generalizadas, asuntos de identidad, y el escrutinio acelerado que enfrentan los hijos de pastores. Pero más que escribir sobre los problemas que se viven, Piper comparte lo que más necesitan los hijos de pastores (igual que sus padres y la iglesia), vivir en la verdadera libertad e integridad.
