Description

John Piper Explores the Ultimate Source of Pleasure, Satisfaction, and Lasting Joy

"God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him." This simple but powerful statement has been a cornerstone of John Piper's ministry for nearly 40 years. Laying out the principles behind this "Christian Hedonism," Desiring God has proved to be a source of rich theological insight for countless readers through the years, guiding them to the fullness of joy found in Christ, even through suffering.

In this foundational work, John Piper addresses profound questions about the purpose of life and the human pursuit of pleasure. Drawing wisdom from Scripture and insights from church history, Piper challenges the belief that believers must sacrifice joy in order to glorify God. It is the other way around; we glorify God by finding our greatest joy in him. Delighting in God does not diminish his glory; it magnifies it and fulfills the deepest desires of our souls.

• Explains Christian Hedonism: Human life should be a pursuit of godly pleasure

• Written by John Piper: Desiring God, first published in 1986, became a cornerstone of Piper's teaching and ministry

• Wise Theological Insights: Delves into Piper's famous statement that "God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in him"
