Desiring God

Christian Life  by 
John Piper

A perfect study guide for individuals and groups, Desiring God shatters paradigms relating to God in a very dramatic manner, altering common perspectives. In the book, John piper unveils the reality of a choice we are given; between duty and delight, declaring that there is no need to choose the first place because a follower of Jesus considers duty as delight, finds delight in duty similar to the magnified presence of Christ in His people when they are satisfied in Him. Drawing from scripture, Piper demonstrates the directly proportional relationship between the pursuit of joy and glorifying God, building his case by offering discussions on the implications of this conversation on worship and suffering, love and prayer, marriage and missions. Turning the Christian world upside down, Piper beckons us to be free to enjoy Jesus – as a Savior and soul-satisfying treasure because the pursuit of pleasure in God is essential.
