Desiring God (Revised)
$18.95Add to cartDesiring God, a classic work on the pleasures of knowing and serving God, is now available in a more reader-friendly edition that includes a discussion guide – ideal for use in a church-wide emphasis or for small group study.
Desiring God, John Piper’s classic, enthusiastic explanation of Christian hedonism, bears the message that the great business of life is to “glorify God by enjoying Him forever.” Constantly drawing on Scripture to build his case, Piper shows why pursuing maximum joy is essential to glorifying God. He discusses the implications for this for conversion, worship, love, Scripture, prayer, money, marriage, missions, and suffering.
Desiring God is a paradigm-shattering work that dramatically alters common perspectives on what relating to God should look like. Piper reveals that there really is no need to choose between duty and delight in the Christian life. In fact for the follower of Jesus, delight is the duty. He concludes that Christ is most magnified in His people when they are most satisfied in him.

Pleasures Of God
$19.95Add to cartBeginning where the foundational truth of Desiring God left off, that “God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him,” this expanded rerelease of another classic by John Piper will further explore a life-changing essential — “We will be most satisfied in God when we know why God himself is most satisfied in God.” Fully understanding the joy of God will draw the reader into an encounter with His overflowing, self-replenishing, all-encompassing grace — the source of living water that all Christians desire to drink. The Pleasures of God will again put God at the center of Creation and leave the reader very satisfied in Him.
Be Most Satisfied in God…
Because GOD Is Most Satisfied in God.
You don’t truly know someone until you know what makes him happy. Our pleasure is the measure of our character. So it is with God. We can only know the greatness of His glory, if we know what makes Him glad. Therefore we must understand “the pleasures of God.”
This is not a book about you. It’s about the One you were made for-God Himself. In this theological tour de force, pastor John Piper navigates the biblical evidence to help us see and savor what the pleasures of God show us about Him, so that we might become like the One we behold.
What the church and world need today, more than anything else, is to know and love-behold and embrace-the great, glorious, sovereign, happy God of the Bible.
