John Piper has done the 'Swans Are Not Silent' series which is excellent. J I Packer did the book on the Puritans. :-) As you say, I am sure that JT would give full agreement to the deserved place of Biographies in everyone's library. Hello Dave,

I think you will find that JT did cover biographies by default. John Piper has done the ‘Swans Are Not Silent’ series which is excellent. J I Packer did the book on the Puritans. :-)

As you say, I am sure that JT would give full agreement to the deserved place of Biographies in everyone’s library.

Reading his blog, and knowing he is working on a very important project, makes this little interview more important and helpful. I would agree with most of his recommendations, but spotted one glaring omission: absence of biographies. Reading biographies (and history) puts flesh and blood on so many ideas and principles. Biographies should be a regular part of one's diet of reading. (Justin, wouldn't you agree??) Thanks for a straight-forward interview with Justin.
