The Innkeeper by John Piper

josiahdegraaf's review

4.0

This is a very short book (31 pages; only half of which are text), though it's decently-sized as a poem (so whether or not it's worth the whole cost of a book is up for debate). However, as a poem, it's surprisingly poignant and hard-hitting within its few pages. I often struggle to "get" poetry and don't readily go to it as my preferred genre. This poem, however, was nearly able to move me to tears by the end of it. The beautiful illustrations didn't hurt either. The book may be short, but the quality of the work is superb.

Rating: 4 Stars (Very Good).

I watched the video of John Piper (www.desiringgod.com) reading this account of Jesus finding the man who owned the stable in which he was born. Beautiful story of finding hope in Jesus through suffering. Loved it.

An extremely moving poem that brings to life the heart of God in the face of the pain of our world.
