John Piper's Missing Sermons

Member Posts: 43
edited November 2024 in English Forum

Below is a link to a personal book that includes every John Piper sermon available from Desiring God that is not included in the John Piper Sermon Archive. There are over 250 such sermons spanning from 1971 to 2016.

The John Piper Sermon Archive available in Logos includes only the sermons he preached at Bethlehem Baptist Church. The sermons in the personal book I have created consist almost exclusivity of those preached at outside events. 

I spent considerable time crosschecking the official list provided by Logos to make sure I wasn't including any sermon that is available officially through Logos. All of these sermons are publicly available from Desiring God.

The appropriate tagging has been done to make sure these show up properly in Logos. There is some tagging that is incomplete (non-recognizable scripture references) but all-in-all it's very functional. Make sure when you're building the book to choose the type as Monograph. Also please list this in the copyright field: © Desiring God Foundation. Website: desiringGod.org

 

Special thanks to Colin Burcombe for testing this and even providing some edits and ideas.

    Thanks for sharing this! On my install, I got 12 errors and 184 warning - the most egregious seems to be images were not compiled into the document because of this error:

    [Error] Document contains an unsupported VML image which will not appear in the final document. To use this embedded image, open the document in Word, select "Save As...", and deselect the "Maintain compatibility with previous versions of Word" option. Then rebuild the book.

    In Word 2016 I resaved and compatibility was not selected, but I still got these errors.

    I can't figure out what's causing the errors. There are no images in the file. The important thing is the errors don't seem to effect the end result at all.

    Probably not worth worrying about then, I was afraid images were lost. Thanks Brandon, I have already started using this. It shows up in the Sermons section of My Passage Guide perfectly!

    Hi Gerald, I'm not sure what the problem could be. But if you click HERE and provide your email address I'll send the file to you directly.

    I also received the error message, but when I clicked the download and open in Word, I received the entire document.

    The charts at the beginning of the sermons most likely come across as "pictures".  I have had that problem before.  The warnings can (in this case) be ignored. Over 2,000 pages?  Wow. Thanks.

    Many thanks Brandon!

    Just compiled. Doc looks great and shows in the sermons tool. I've often looked for a message in his manuscript library only to find that it was one he preached on the road. Some of his best sermons were on the road!

    Thanks again Brandon! Looks like you did a ton of work on this!

    I compiled this book on one computer and all went well. I went to another computer, it was not showing in my library, clicked it in the Personal Book pane and it said "You don't have a license to view this resource."

    Any ideas what I might have done wrong?

  • Member Posts: 2,976 ✭✭✭

    You have to complile the personal book on your other computer as well.

    Oh. Then, personal books do not sync across desktop installations? I knew that they did not go mobile. That is disappointing but I can work with it.

    Thanks

  • Member Posts: 2,976 ✭✭✭

    I've not had them sync across installations.  I know it's been discussed, but I don't know where Faithlife is at with implementing this.

    personal books do not sync across desktop installations?

    Yes they do, as long as you press the upload book button after building it, and that button may be grayed out if the compiled book is over the size limit which is around 20mb

    I also got this error when trying to compile this PB.

    Brandon, thank you for the countless hours you must have spent putting this together! I hope I can get it to work so that I can profit from all your labor.

    Hmmm. I’ll try and find time tomorrow to see what’s going on   Thanks for letting me know.

    I also got this error when trying to compile this PB.

    This is the usual error that comes up from "empty paragraphs" - i.e. consecutive paragraph marks that are formatted in a Heading style. I used the quick and dirty workaround to replace all "^p" with " ^p" (paragraph mark with space paragraph mark), which then works.

    Brandon, did you consider putting a copy of the docx in the Files are of the forums?  That might make the download issue go away (you could put a link to it in this thread).

    Can you go into more detail on how your fixed the error? I understand the find and replace all part, but it is the exact whatever to put into the find and replace that I dont understand. Thanks. Using a Mac and control p doenst do a paragraph mark for me.

    It's not Ctrl-P on Windows either, it's the ^ character (caret?) that's located at the top left, left of the 1 key, of the keyboard, followed by p, which then is interpreted (not shown!) as a search for the paragraph mark in Word - at least in Word for Windows. Mac users may correct me if it works differently there.
