The fifth volume in Piper's acclaimed The Swans Are NotSilent series illustrates powerful and enduring lessons through themissional sufferings of Tyndale, Judson, and Paton.
Jesus' words in John 12 are sobering: unless a grain of wheatfalls into the earth and dies, it will bear little fruit. Thehistory of Christianity's expansion proves that God's strategy forreaching unreached peoples with the gospel includes the sufferingsof his frontline heralds-the missionaries who willingly die athousand daily deaths to advance God's kingdom.
Pastor John Piper's latest addition to The Swans Are Not Silentseries focuses on this flesh-and-blood reality in the lives ofWilliam Tyndale, Adoniram Judson, and John Paton. The price theypaid to translate the Word of God, to pave the way for missionarymobilization around the world, and to lead the hostile to Christwas great. Yet their stories show in triplicate how the gospeladvances not only through the faithful proclamation of the truthbut through representing the afflictions of Christ in oursufferings.
