(4) All were based in England. (5) All were contemporaries. (6) All knew each other and encouraged one another and gained energy for ministry from one another. (7) All are the subjects of John Piper&#8217;s seventh book in his series entitled The Swans Are Not Silent. <strong>A Camaraderie of Confidence<\/strong> (Crossway, 2016) should be high on your reading list for 2017. Our team of local church elders is&nbsp;reading through this book and discussing it as part of our elders&#8217; meetings. The volume would&nbsp;make a tremendous gift to your pastor or to one or more of your elders. Or,&nbsp;you could do what I did with the first book in this series (<strong>Legacy of Sovereign Joy<\/strong>)&#8211;I gave it to our two sons and to our two sons-in-law, because of the impact it had on my own ministry. This series of Christian biographies comprises one of John Piper&#8217;s greatest gifts to all of us.\n\n<strong>Click on picture for link.<\/strong>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-4b89e18 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"4b89e18\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e2c595f\" data-id=\"e2c595f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a78baba elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a78baba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"\/recommendations\"><strong>Recommendations<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-715cfa2\" data-id=\"715cfa2\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e975a42 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e975a42\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"\/books-ive-endorsed\/\"><strong>Books I&#8217;ve Endorsed<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"\/dr-barricks-books\/\">Dr. Barrick&#8217;s Books<\/a>&nbsp;<\/strong>or<strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"\/my-publications\/\">Publications<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What do Charles Spurgeon, George M\u00fcller, and Hudson Taylor have in common?
