Desiring God by John Piper

"Mind-hammering and heart-warming, Desiring God ignites a passion for God that would set the world ablaze if it were the norm and not the exception today."
-Os Guiness, author of God in the Dark

THE PURSUIT OF PLEASURE IS NOT OPTIONAL.
IT IS ESSENTIAL.

Scripture reveals that the great business of life is to glorify God by enjoying Him forever. In this paradigm-shattering work, John Piper reveals that the debate between duty and delight doesn't truly exist: Delight is our duty. Joim him as he unveils stunning, life-impacting truths you saw in the Bible but never dared to believe.

"A modern manual of true spirituality." -R. C. Sproul

"The communion of a longing soul and a satisfying Christ is at the center of God's plan. Piper makes this overlooked, contradicted, trivialized, and sentimentalized message clear and compelling. Desiring God is a classic- now it's even richer." -Larry Crabb

"The healthy biblical realism of this study in Christian motivation comes as a breath of fresh air. Jonathan Edwards, whose ghost walks through most of Piper's pages, would be delighted with his disciple." -J. I. Packer

"This book profoundly influenced my life." -Jerry Bridges
