What a difference between Piper and some of the other big church pastors who charge you up the kazoo for an outline or any other resource. Piper has always been quite generous with his books and MP3s. |

| | Wright's response to Piper: Quote:
"Piper is in a different category. He graciously sent me an advance manuscript of his book which is critiquing me and invited my comments on it. I sent him a lengthy set of comments. I’ve only just got on email about two days ago the book in the revised form and I haven’t had a chance to look at it yet. So I cannot say whether he’s being fair or not at this stage.
But I do know that he has done his darndest to be fair and I honor that and I respect that. People have asked me if I’m going to write a response, and the answer is that I don’t know. I’m kind of busy right now. But I maybe should, sooner or later."

We can disagree with some of what he says and does, but the guy just has a passionate heart for the Lord and wants to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ. He's willing to give away stuff for free if need be.
