Coronavirus and Christ by John Piper
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Piper is amazing and is always challenging & encouraging. He's a man of The Word--an always does a deep cut exegesis on God's Word. This book was a strong reminder that though the world is in a crazy mode right now as a result of the global COVID-19 pandemic, God is in control--and nothing, nothing, happens outside His purposes or control. Yes, these are scary, difficult days--or what Piper has called before "a bitter providence"--but God is using this event of global proportions to call people to repentance and to Himself and the deep, eternal questions of life. This ebook was free (desiringgod.org) and was well-worth the short read. Piper lays out 6 answers to the question of "Why would God allow this coronavirus?" Food for deep thought, as well as great encouragement, reminding us that the Word of God makes it clear that God is sovereign & in control--and that "there is none like Him" and there is "nothing that can thwart His plan/purposes."
