Piper: the importance of justification

Yesterday I received a copy of John Piper's new book, The Future of Justification.

Is it important to write a 225-page book on the doctrine of justification? In his acknowledgments, Piper notes why it really is:

From the moment we believed until the last day of eternity God is 100 percent for us on this basis alone — the sin-bearing punishment of Christ, and the righteousness-providing obedience of Christ.

Which is another way of saying, "Christ is our life."
