Pierced by the Word: Thirty-One Meditations for Your Soul

Pierced by the Word takes up thirty-one subjects as unique as "How to Be a Refuge for Your Children," "How to Drink Orange Juice to the Glory of God," and "Embracing the Pain of Shame." Some are longer, some shorter, like the real-world conversations they so closely resemble, and each comes from the fertile mind of John Piper and is written in his own inimitable style.

Symposium and the Death of Socrates

In Symposium, a group of Athenian aristocrats attend a party and talk about love, until the drunken Alcibiades bursts in and decides to discuss Socrates instead.

Hamlet, Prince of Denmark

Maurice Evans writes in his “Comments on Playing the Role of Hamlet: it is ironic that Shakespeare's solicitude for his actor companions should have been repaid by actors of succeeding generations in such doubtful coin. I have been unable to trace the origin of the appellation of “The Gloomy Dane” as descriptive of Hamlet, but it is safe to surmise that some actor of mournful aspect was r…
