There are three things Liam Rice wants more than anything. To get out of his small hometown, escape his father's constant animosity, and finally beat Finch Gray at something. And, although all three of his dreams seem to require the same first step-winning the regional Basketball Championships- the latter soon proves to be a lot harder than a simple win. When they get caught up in a violent robbery that ends with Finch being shot, their worlds come together again, in a way neither could have ever imagined. Because Finch doesn't die. Instead, he somehow develops superpowers. Ones he can't control on his own. Only Liam knows about Finch's new abilities, and now only Finch can get their basketball team to the finals. Although it seems like a mutually beneficial agreement for both of them, it becomes clear that Finch's powers can't protect Liam from what he fears most.

God has provided a way for all people, not just scholars, to know that the Bible is the Word of God. John Piper has devoted his life to showing us that the glory of God is object of the soul’s happiness. Now, his burden in this book is to demonstrate that this same glory is the ground of the mind’s certainty. God’s peculiar glory shines through his Word. The Spirit of God enlightens the eyes of our hearts. And in one self-authenticating sight, our minds are sure and our hearts are satisfied. Justified certainty and solid joy meet in the peculiar glory of God.
